# President Cyril Ramaphosa has launched an urgent application in the Western Cape High Court to stop Parliament’s impeachment process linked to the multi-million-rand Phala Phala scandal. Ramaphosa argues that the process should be suspended while he challenges the Section 89 panel report, which found prima facie evidence of possible constitutional violations and misconduct. Earlier this year, a Constitutional Court ruling directed Parliament to proceed with an impeachment inquiry. Ramaphosa says allowing the process to continue could cause irreparable harm and create a constitutional conflict.
