# The EFF has accused the ANC of deliberately obstructing the Phala Phala impeachment process by failing to appoint members to the committee. According to reports, the ANC missed the 22nd May deadline to submit names to serve on the committee, as chief whip Mdumiseni Ntuli and secretary‑general Fikile Mbalula allegedly clashed over representation. The EFF says any reasonable observer would conclude that the current delays are part of a broader political strategy to shield president Cyril Ramaphosa from accountability, and to weaken the impeachment process before it even begins.
