Full ConCourt ruling on Ramaphosa Phala Phala case — read it here

Read the full judgment below in the Phala Phala scandal case, where the Constitutional Court of South Africa ruled that Parliament acted unconstitutionally in blocking impeachment proceedings against President Cyril Ramaphosa. The apex court found that the National Assembly’s decision in December 2022 to reject the Section 89 panel report, which found there may be grounds for impeachment, was unconstitutional and invalid.

The matter now returns to Parliament, where the impeachment process may proceed in line with constitutional requirements. The case centres on the alleged theft of foreign currency from Ramaphosa’s Phala Phala farm in Limpopo in 2020, and subsequent claims that the incident was not properly reported to authorities.
