Lester Kiewit speaks to Tara Roos, CapeTalk commentator and Business Day political correspondent, about the latest news coming out of Parliament, including Parliament’s Section 89 impeachment committee voting to seek a direct appeal to the Constitutional Court after a Western Cape High Court ruling halted public hearings into President Cyril Ramaphosa’s impeachment inquiry, reigniting debate about the boundaries between judicial intervention and Parliament’s constitutional oversight role.

Meanwhile, ActionSA has introduced a proposed Lobbying Transparency Bill, which would create a public register of professional lobbyists, require disclosure of their clients and engagements with public officials, and introduce cooling-off periods for former senior government figures.
