The South African National Assembly adopts new rules governing the Section 89 inquiry process, aligning its procedures with a Constitutional Court judgment. The update comes after the court ruled that the previously established rules were unconstitutional. Under the Section 89 framework, the National Assembly conducts an impeachment-related inquiry when it considers whether a constitutional office-bearer should be removed for misconduct or incapacity. The newly adopted rules are intended to ensure the inquiry process complies with the constitutional requirements identified by the court. The Assembly’s decision reflects an effort to correct the legal defects found in the earlier rules and to provide a revised procedural basis for future Section 89 proceedings. No additional details about changes to the substance of the inquiry are provided in the available reports; the focus is on the Assembly’s implementation of procedural amendments mandated by the Constitutional Court. The transition to the revised rules is presented as a compliance step to bring the inquiry mechanism back into line with the court’s interpretation of the law.
