President Cyril Ramaphosa has successfully secured an interdict of limited duration to halt the parliamentary impeachment proceedings concerning the Phala Phala scandal. The Western Cape High Court in Cape Town delivered the ruling on Friday, July 24, 2026, granting the President’s application to stall the Section 89 inquiry.
The court’s decision effectively pauses the legislative process initiated to investigate the President regarding the events at his Phala Phala farm. This legal development marks a significant procedural shift in the parliamentary efforts to hold the President accountable, as the impeachment committee must now suspend its activities in accordance with the court order.
