A look at the Phala Phala judgment
The Constitutional Court announced it would issue a ruling after the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and the African Transformation Movement (ATM) filed papers with the court against Parliament, arguing that the Phala Phala report was mishandled. This was after Parliament rejected the Section 89 Independent Panel's report into the break-in at Ramaphosa's Phala Phala farm in Limpopo.
