The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) is approaching South Africa’s Constitutional Court to revive a parliamentary process aimed at impeaching President Cyril Ramaphosa. According to reports, the EFF filed an urgent appeal requesting the court to overturn a High Court ruling that stopped the impeachment proceedings.
The EFF argues that the High Court decision interrupts Parliament’s constitutional duties and weakens mechanisms for presidential accountability. In its court application, the party seeks reinstatement of the impeachment process, effectively asking the Constitutional Court to correct what it frames as an improper halt to Parliament’s proceedings.
Other coverage notes that the EFF is specifically asking the Constitutional Court to “restart” or “reinstate” the impeachment process that had been suspended following the High Court ruling. The reports do not indicate the outcome of the appeal or provide details on the underlying impeachment allegations. The matter is before the Constitutional Court following the EFF’s urgent filing, with the next steps dependent on the court’s consideration of the appeal.
