Legal battle over withdrawal of impeachment evidence leader continues
The Western Cape High Court is expected to hear arguments from respondents in a case brought by the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and the African Legal Professionals Association (ALPA).
The two organisations are challenging the Section 89 Impeachment Committee’s decision to withdraw the recommendation of Advocate Thandazani Madonsela as evidence leader in its inquiry into President Cyril Ramaphosa.
The committee rescinded the recommendation after Ramaphosa raised concerns about a potential conflict of interest.
The applicants argue that the decision was irrational and unlawful and want it reviewed and set aside.
