South Africa’s National Assembly Speaker Thoko Didiza says she will not oppose President Cyril Ramaphosa’s move to halt Parliament’s impeachment inquiry into the “Phala Phala” matter. Multiple outlets report that Didiza’s position places her at odds with a panel or committee of lawmakers that is pursuing the impeachment investigation. The reports indicate that Ramaphosa is seeking to pause the parliamentary process, and that Didiza intends to allow that application to proceed without resistance from her office. The disagreement highlights a split within Parliament over how the impeachment proceedings should continue and whether the process should be suspended while Ramaphosa’s bid is considered. The outlets consistently describe Didiza’s stance as supportive of Ramaphosa’s request, rather than opposition to it. The reports do not provide details in the provided excerpts about the legal arguments for halting the inquiry or the timetable for any ruling, but they agree on the core point: Didiza will not oppose the attempt to pause the impeachment process and differs from the lawmakers conducting the inquiry.
