Victory For Accountability as Concourt Rules S89 Phala Phala Report Must Return to Parliament
ActionSA celebrates the ruling of the Constitutional Court handed down today as a victory for the South African people.
This ruling has determined that the rule used by the National Assembly to deny the investigation report into Phala Phala being referred to the Impeachment Committee was invalid and thus the vote must be deemed invalid.
The fact that this report must now return to a Parliament where the ANC no longer enjoys a majority that can protect the President over the Consitution is a victory for accountability.
ActionSA’s Parliamentary Team is ready to participate in the processes that unfold and to provide leadership from the opposition benches as we have on the Phala Phala matter for some time.
ActionSA celebrates the work of political parties that have not given up as one government institution after another freed the President of accountability.
Now is the time for parties in the GNU, who have gone silent on Phala Phala since they have entered government, to demonstrate whether they will act for South Africans for themselves.
