MSF workers struggle to contain Ebola outbreak

South Africa's Western Cape High Court has granted an interdict to President Cyril Ramaphosa's urgent bid to temporarily halt Parliament's Section 89 Impeachment Committee, pending a review of the independent panel's Phala Phala report.

Ramaphosa approached the court to halt the impeachment process pending his application to review the Section 89 Independent Panel report, which found that he had a case to answer in the theft on his Phala Phala farm. The report investigates the 2020 theft of foreign currency at Ramaphosa's game farm, examining alleged violations of the Executive Ethics Code, Exchange Control Regulations, and police misconduct.

Social and Environmental Justice Organisation, The Green Connection, is calling on South Africa's (SA) Parliament to withdraw the National Petroleum Company Bill, arguing that it could deepen the country's dependence on fossil fuels while weakening public oversight and exposing taxpayers to billions of rand in environmental liabilities.
