Didiza announces impeachment committee members


The Speaker of the National Assembly Thoko Didiza has released the names of the members of different political parties who will be serving on the impeachment committee.

The deadline for the submission of the names by political parties was last week Friday.

Two of the political parties, the PAC and GOOD party have decided not to submit names saying they each have one member of Parliament who also serve in the executive.

The PA and Al Jama-ah will also participate in the process.

The ANC’s list is made up of nine permanent members, plus one alternate.

The establishment of the committee is the result of a Constitutional Court judgment earlier this month.

It ruled that Parliament should establish an Impeachment Committee for President Cyril Ramaphosa to answer to prima facie evidence about foreign currency stolen from his Phala Phala Farm in 2020.
