National Assembly Speaker Thoko Didiza says she will not oppose President Cyril Ramaphosa’s application to pause Parliament’s impeachment inquiry into the Phala Phala scandal. According to the report, Didiza’s stance means Parliament will proceed to consider Ramaphosa’s request to halt the process, rather than facing opposition from the Speaker’s office. The impeachment inquiry relates to allegations concerning the Phala Phala matter. The decision by the Speaker is presented as a procedural development in the broader impeachment proceedings, with legal and parliamentary steps expected to follow as the application is considered. The report frames the announcement as a commitment not to resist Ramaphosa’s attempt to stop the inquiry from continuing at this stage. Further outcomes would depend on the response from other parties and any rulings or decisions made through the applicable parliamentary and legal processes. The report does not indicate changes to the underlying allegations, only that the inquiry’s continuation is subject to Ramaphosa’s bid and the parliamentary process that follows.
