Thoko Didiza Releases Names of Impeachment Committee MPs
PARLIAMENT, WESTERN CAPE— Parliament has announced the names of 31 Members of Parliament who will sit on the impeachment committee to determine the fate of President Cyril Ramaphosa over Phala Phala. The committee was established following a Constitutional Court ruling in May that Parliament must restart impeachment proceedings against the president regarding a robbery at his private game farm in Limpopo.
