# Advocate Thandazani Madonsela says president Cyril Ramaphosa’s apprehension about his appointment as the Impeachment Committee’s evidence leader is not grounded in fact. Ramaphosa has objected to Madonsela serving as the evidence leader on the basis of a conflict of interest, citing his previous decision to remove him from the Judicial Service Commission in 2022. He also says Madonsela recently advised the ANC on matters linked to the impeachment inquiry. Madonsela says he had disclosed the engagement with the ANC and that the committee decided to elect him, having full knowledge of this.
