The Constitutional Court has rejected African Transformation Movement (ATM) leader Vuyolwethu Zungula’s bid to take his legal challenge over President Cyril Ramaphosa’s interim interdict against his impeachment process directly to the apex court.
The apex court held that the outcome of the High Court proceedings could ultimately render the interim interdict at the centre of the dispute moot.
Ramaphosa has been successful in interdicting the impeachment committee from proceeding with its work pending his review application of the Section 89 report into Phala Phala.
High court decision ‘constitutionally harmful’In his founding affidavit, Zungula argued that the majority’s 2-1 decision to grant Ramaphosa a temporary interdict was “irredeemably vague” and “constitutionally harmful”.
Ramaphosa’s review application is scheduled to be heard by the Western Cape High Court from September 2 to 4.
