President Cyril Ramaphosa's political future hangs in the balance after the Constitutional Court ruled that Parliament's vote on the Phala Phala matter was influenced by a material error of law and was therefore unconstitutional.
The court ruled in favour of the EFF and ATM.
The Apex Court ordered that the independent panel's report be referred to an impeachment committee.
Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema has urged Ramaphosa to resign.
“If we had a responsible president, he should be resigning to prepare himself to come and answer. And even if he resigns, he must still come for impeachment.
"You cannot have a president who is preparing for an impeachment process and then occupying the office of the president at the same time,” Malema said, adding that the impeachment process must kick in with immediate effect.
