Section 89 Committee halts new evidence leader appointment
Section 89 Impeachment Committee decided to put process of appointing a new evidence leader on hold.
The Section 89 Impeachment Committee has suspended the procedure for selecting a new evidence leader, pending the resolution of legal challenges. Two organizations, the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and the African Legal Professionals Association, have filed court applications opposing the committee's decision to withdraw Advocate Thandazani Madonsela's recommendation.
The committee's chairperson, Makashule Gana, announced that the majority of political parties within the committee have agreed to delay the appointment of an evidence leader. Gana stated that they will await the outcome of the court proceedings and resume the appointment process once a judgment has been issued. The EFF legal challenge to the committee's decision is currently under consideration.
