ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula has stated that the parliamentary impeachment process against President Cyril Ramaphosa regarding the Phala Phala farm scandal has been paused, but not cancelled. Mbalula emphasized that the ongoing court challenge initiated by Ramaphosa must conclude before Parliament resumes the impeachment proceedings. This decision aims to avoid a conflict between the legislative and judicial branches of government. The President is seeking a review of the report that initially triggered the impeachment call. Mbalula’s comments indicate the ANC intends to respect the court’s process and await its decision before further engaging with the impeachment. He maintains that the pause is a procedural necessity, not an abandonment of accountability measures. The outcome of the court case will therefore dictate the future of the impeachment process.
