The National Briefing

As South Africa awaits the Constitutional Court’s crucial Phala Phala judgment on the 8th of May, questions are mounting about the political future of President Cyril Ramaphosa and what could happen if the court rules against him. 

The Constitutional Court has ruled in favour of the Economic Freedom Fighters, finding that the National Assembly acted unlawfully when it voted in December 2022 to reject the Section 89 Independent Panel report into President Cyril Ramaphosa's Phala Phala scandal.
The judgment, delivered at 10AM this morning at Constitutional Hill in Braamfontein, marks one of the most consequential rulings against a sitting head of state in the country's democratic history. The court has ordered Parliament to properly process the Section 89 panel report, reopening the possibility of a full impeachment inquiry into the President.
