THE FUSE

South Africa’s apex court will rule on an application brought by the EFF and ATM (a small party with two MPs) against Parliament’s blocking of an impeachment inquiry by voting down a Section 89 panel report that found Ramaphosa had a serious case to answer. Section 89 is the Constitution’s impeachment clause, which sets out how a head of state can be removed from office for misconduct. The panel’s report was a first-step inquiry into whether the President had a case to answer.
