Mpofu argues impeachment court decision an easy appeal

Dali Mpofu, attorney for the uMkhonto weSizwe (MKP) Party, contends that their request for leave to appeal the Western Cape High Court's decision is the simplest course of action. This appeal aligns with the principles of justice and the separation of powers. Both MKP and the United Africans Transformation (UAT) party are back in the Western Cape High Court seeking permission to appeal the earlier ruling that suspended the Impeachment Committee's proceedings.

Last month, the court granted President Cyril Ramaphosa an interdict to prevent the impeachment proceedings against him while the Section 89 Independent Panel's report review is scheduled for September. The Western Cape High Court is set to hear an urgent application on Friday by the MKP and UAT parties, challenging the interdict that halted the work of Parliament’s Section 89 Impeachment Committee.
