CAPE TOWN - A fresh push to impeach President Cyril Ramaphosa has hit another hurdle.
National Assembly Speaker Thoko Didiza has rejected the ATM’s request for a Section 89 inquiry, citing procedural issues.
The party says it will refine its motion to meet Parliament’s requirements.
ATM leader Vuyo Zungula insists the matter is about accountability.
He said that no one, including the president, should be above accountability.

"We are not surprised by their rejection. They are saying that it's based on technicalities," said Zungula.
He said they were going to refine the motion until it abides with what the Speaker wants.
"South Africans must have the truth on what transpired in Phala Phala. When you listen to what is happening at the Madlanga Commission, you'll pick up the abuse of power by officials. When it comes to the case of Phala Phala no one should turn a blind eye when this abuse of power is done by the president. "
