# President Cyril Ramaphosa has formally objected to the appointment of Thandazani Madonsela as evidence leader for Parliament’s Section 89 impeachment committee. In a letter, he says Madonsela is conflicted, citing his removal as his Judicial Service Commission appointee in 2022 and legal advice given to the ANC caucus. The committee voted two weeks ago to recommend Madonsela, with nine votes for him and seven for DA candidate Kate Hofmeyr. Chairperson Makashule Gana says the committee is studying the objection and will respond.
