Ramaphosa seeks leave to appeal judgment on NHI Act to be reviewed

# President Cyril Ramaphosa has applied to the Gauteng High Court for leave to appeal a ruling declaring his signing of the NHI Act reviewable. The court had ordered him to submit decision records to the Board of Healthcare Funders within ten days. Ramaphosa argues the ruling overlooked presidential discretion and plans to petition the Constitutional Court by 27 May. Meanwhile, the BHF is launching two more legal challenges against the NHI Act and its public participation process.
