For the first time in South Africa’s democratic history, a parliamentary committee established to consider impeaching a sitting president has convened today. However, the 31-member committee will focus on just one initial order of business for its inaugural meeting: electing a chairperson. This historic committee was formed a week ago following a landmark Constitutional Court ruling in May, which compelled Parliament to take formal steps to consider misconduct allegations against President Cyril Ramaphosa. Despite the President applying for a judicial review of the underlying report last week, Parliament is moving forward.  Colleen Makhubele spoke to Nhlanhla Hadebe - Chief Whip of the IFP in the National Assembly, Steve Swart - African Christian Democratic Party (ACDP) Member and member in the Impeachment Committee and Dr. Bantu Wonder President for Mahlatsi United Africans Transformation (UAT).
