South Africa’s Impeachment Committee for President Cyril Ramaphosa is continuing its preparations after a Western Cape High Court decision temporarily halts public hearings. According to reports, the committee is not stepping back and intends to proceed with its processes despite the court’s order. The ruling is described as triggering a political dispute, with the committee framing the pause as a temporary measure rather than a withdrawal of the impeachment process. The court action affects the timing of public hearings, but the committee’s broader work remains under way. The reports also indicate that the High Court ruling has intensified scrutiny from political parties and other stakeholders, as the impeachment process moves forward under judicial oversight. The committee’s next steps are expected to follow the outcome of the court’s intervention and any subsequent legal directions. Overall, sources agree that the hearings are paused by the Western Cape High Court, while the impeachment committee continues preparing for the process.
