JOHANNESBURG - The Constitutional Court paved the way for an impeachment process after it ruled that the National Assembly acted unlawfully.
It relates to Parliament voting against a panel report that found President Cyril Ramaphosa had a case to answer regarding the Phala Phala farm robbery.
The EFF, which took the case to the Apex Court, has now written to Speaker Thoko Didiza seeking clarity on timelines and how the procedure will unfold.
"Look, we found that it was an injustice that parliament used its majority during the African National Congress to suppress the duty of Parliament to exercise oversight over the executive and accountability, and we saw that happen in 2022, where the ANC voted in its majority to block the report from going to an impeachment committee."
Thambo said if Parliament Speaker Thoko Didiza does not respond timeously, they will consider taking the matter back to court.
"We expect a response possibly by Monday, and if there is no response, she must at least expect us to take her to court in that regard as well.
"So we're not gonna tolerate anyone who is gonna act in contempt of the constitutional court, on the basis that they want to avoid accountability in this matter. Countless speakers of the ANC have been involved in undermining the constitution, and now Thoko Didiza has an opportunity to."
