President Cyril Ramaphosa is granted a court interdict suspending Parliament’s Section 89 impeachment process against him related to the Phala Phala matter. Multiple outlets report that the Western Cape High Court orders the Impeachment Committee to pause or suspend its public proceedings. The ruling is described as an “interdict of limited duration,” meaning the committee’s work is halted temporarily rather than permanently. The court action comes as Ramaphosa prepares to challenge elements of an independent panel report connected to the allegations. Sources agree that the decision is issued by the Western Cape High Court and that it affects the impeachment committee’s ability to continue its public work. While the reports differ in phrasing, they converge on the same core outcome: the impeachment proceedings are suspended following Ramaphosa’s legal bid, with the interdict framed as temporary. The next steps after the pause are linked to Ramaphosa’s intended challenge to the findings referenced in reporting.
