Impeachment Committee votes in favour of opposing EFF application
The decision was supported by 19 members against nine.
The Section 89 Impeachment Committee has endorsed a stance opposing legal applications seeking to declare unlawful the decision to revoke the name of Adv Thandazani Madonsela as their evidence leader. This vote, with 19 in favor and 9 against, was cast by committee members. Both the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and the African Legal Professionals Association (ALPA) are contesting the Impeachment Committee's decision to remove Adv Madonsela.
President Cyril Ramaphosa had previously expressed reservations about Adv Madonsela, citing two potential conflicts of interest. He dismissed her from the Judicial Service Commission in late 2022 following the Chief Justice appointment interviews. Ramaphosa's second concern stems from Madonsela's public remarks about the Phala Phala theft during a meeting with an ANC study group.
