Court to hear Ramaphosa’s bid to set aside Section 89 report
The matter relates to the robbery at the President's Phala Phala farm in Limpopo six years ago
The Western Cape High Court will hear President Cyril Ramaphosa's application to set aside the Section 89 independent panel report on the Phala Phala saga, according to SABC News. The report concluded that there was strong evidence suggesting Ramaphosa may have violated his oath of office concerning the theft of $580,000 in cash from his Phala-Phala farm in Bela-Bela, Limpopo.
Despite the National Assembly voting against the report in December 2022, opposition parties took the matter to the Constitutional Court, leading to the establishment of an Impeachment Committee to investigate Ramaphosa. In July, the Western Cape High Court ruled in favor of Ramaphosa, temporarily halting the committee's proceedings pending the outcome of his application to review the report.
