ANC divided over the resignation of Cyril Ramaphosa after Phala Phala report referred back to Parliament

on


Internal divisions have erupted within the ANC as rival factions demand President Cyril Ramaphosa’s resignation following the Constitutional Court (ConCourt) ruling on the Phala Phala farm scandal on Friday.

This comes as the party is reportedly considering its options on the way forward regarding the ConCourt ruling, which set aside the 2022 National Assembly vote, where the ANC used its majority to defeat the adoption of the Section 89 Independent Panel report.

While the ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula reaffirmed the party’s support for Ramaphosa following the ruling - and he has the backing of some in the party - his detractors argue that having a leader facing impeachment would be untenable, especially just before November 4 local government polls.

The ConCourt ruled that Parliament’s December 2022 vote to block an impeachment inquiry against Ramaphosa was unconstitutional and invalid.

The court ordered that the Section 89 Independent Panel report be directly referred to an impeachment committee.
