JOHANNESBURG - The EFF has said President Cyril Ramaphosa has failed to show exceptional circumstances to justify granting an interdict.
The Western Cape High Court has concluded today's hearing of Ramaphosa's urgent application to stop the impeachment committee from doing its work.
EFF's legal representative, Mfesane Ka-Siboto, argued that President Ramaphosa had not met the legal threshold for the interdict.

The Western Cape High Court heard President Cyril Ramaphosa’s urgent bid to stop Parliament’s Section 89 impeachment process.
The President wants the process suspended while the Section 89 Independent Panel report is reviewed.
In 2022, a Parliamentary Panel found that President Ramaphosa had a case to answer over the Phala Phala saga. But the National Assembly voted to reject the Pane's findings.
