ATM questions ConCourt ruling in Ramaphosa’s interdict matter
ATM is disappointment with the ConCourt's dismissal of its application on the Phala Phala matter.
The African Transformation Movement (ATM) has voiced its dissatisfaction with the Constitutional Court's decision to dismiss its appeal regarding a restraining order issued against President Cyril Ramaphosa by the Western Cape High Court. In the previous month, the court temporarily halted the Parliament Impeachment Committee's public hearings while Ramaphosa petitioned to review the findings of the Section 89 Independent Panel, which concluded that the president had a prima facie case against him concerning the Phala Phala matter.
The application for review is slated for hearing in September. The ATM, Economic Freedom Fighters, uMkhonto weSizwe Party, and the Impeachment Committee had collectively appealed directly to the Constitutional Court. Vuyo Zungula, the Parliament Leader of the ATM, expressed disappointment and uncertainty about the court's order, stating that they had not yet consulted their legal advisors.
Zungula emphasized that their decision to seek further legal review stemmed from the advice of reputable legal counsel.
