# The Western Cape High Court reserved judgment in president Cyril Ramaphosa’s bid to overturn the Section 89 Independent Panel report on the Phala Phala farm scandal. The three-day hearing led by Judge President Nolwazi Mabindla-Boqwana, considered whether the Constitutional Court stayed within its mandate while making its findings on the report. Ramaphosa’s legal team argued that the panel relied on untested evidence and want the findings set aside. Four opposition parties including the Mk Party argued that a lower court lacks jurisdiction in the matter. Public impeachment hearings remain interdicted.
