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.
Didiza says almost all the political parties met the deadline except the African National Congress (ANC) which indicated that it would submit its list of names over the weekend and has since done that.
The ANC’s list is made up of nine permanent members, plus one alternate. The names are Xola Nqola, Cameron Dugmore, Dorries Mpapane, Soviet Lekganyane, Faith Muthambi, Dikeledi Direko, Boyce Maneli, Mikateko Mahlaule, Lusizo Makhubela and Khomotjo Maimela will be the alternate member.
She says two of the political parties, the Pan Africanist Congress of Azania (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 Patriotic Alliance (PA) and Al Jama-ah have chosen to not participate in the process. 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.
