According to the EFF, those principles were not adequately applied when the Western Cape High Court decided to suspend the impeachment process pending Ramaphosa’s review application. ‘Impeachment process frozen’“This froze an impeachment process that this court restored two months ago in EFF III.” The EFF further argues that the High Court’s ruling runs contrary to the Constitutional Court’s own findings regarding Parliament’s obligations. Malema points to a previous Constitutional Court judgment that reinstated the impeachment process and held that constitutional duties must be carried out “diligently and without delay”. The party also takes issue with the High Court’s treatment of potential reputational harm to the President.
