# The Western Cape High Court will hear president Cyril Ramaphosa’s application to halt the parliamentary impeachment process on the 15 and 16 July, pending a review of the Section 89 independent panel report. In court papers, the president has argued that there is a likelihood that the Impeachment Committee will begin the hearing before the court has ruled on the review application. Ramaphosa says this will give rise to considerable prejudice. The committee’s chairperson, Makashule Gana, the EFF and the African Transformation Movement are respondents in the case.
