Impeachment Committee to get legal advice on evidence leader dispute
The committee is dealing with administrative work following the Western Cape High Court interdict.
The impeachment committee, led by President Cyril Ramaphosa, is set to receive legal advice on Tuesday regarding the appointment of Advocate Thandazani Madonsela as the committee's evidence leader. The committee is currently handling administrative matters following a court injunction that suspended its public hearings. These proceedings will continue pending the review of a report by the Section 89 Independent Panel, which is scheduled to be heard from Wednesday to Friday.
Committee Chairperson Makashule Gana announced that the committee will be receiving advice from the Constitutional and Legal Services Office. Additionally, Gana stated that the committee is moving closer to finalizing its terms of reference. After adjournment, the chairperson plans to hold a briefing with media members, addressing questions related to the committee's work since his election. This will provide feedback on the committee's progress.
