| 6/15/26 | ![]() Ramaphosa goes nuclear to block impeachment committee | President Cyril Ramaphosa has moved to interdict Parliament’s impeachment committee, a dramatic escalation in the Phala Phala accountability process. In this episode, we unpack what the interdict means, why Ramaphosa is trying to stop the committee, and whether Parliament is legally obliged to proceed despite the President’s review application. We also look at the Constitutional Court’s order, the role of the impeachment committee, and the political stakes of a President going to court to stop Parliament from investigating him. This is a major test of accountability, separation of powers, and whether Parliament will be allowed to do its constitutional work. Join the conversation in the comments. | 52m 16s | ||||||
