Ramaphosa asks Chief Justice Maya to serve papers on two judges who co-authored the Phala Phala report

# President Cyril Ramaphosa’s legal team has started the process of a review application against the Section 89 panel report, which found that he had a case to answer over the burglary at his Phala Phala farm. The legal team has requested permission from Chief Justice Mandisa Maya to serve papers on two former senior judges who co-authored the report, former Chief Justice Sandile Ngcobo and former High Court justice Thokozile Masipa. The Superior Courts Act requires litigants in civil proceedings to seek permission before instituting litigation against a judge.
