Section 89 Committee Reviews ActionSA's Phala Phala Evidence in Impeachment Inquiry

The parliamentary Section 89 committee investigating President Cyril Ramaphosa's potential impeachment will review fresh evidence submitted by ActionSA, focusing on disciplinary findings against two presidential protection officers linked to the Phala Phala scandal.

The committee, chaired by Makashule Gana, will examine SAPS disciplinary records that cleared Maj-Gen Wally Rhoode and Brig Hennie Rekhoto, despite discrepancies between SAPS, Ipid, and the Public Protector's findings.

ActionSA argues the evidence highlights inconsistencies in the disciplinary process, including excluded witness statements and conflicting conclusions.

The submission, obtained via the Promotion of Access to Information Act, claims Rhoode alleged Ramaphosa directed him to accompany adviser Bhekani Chauke to Namibia during a cross-border operation.

The committee's findings could determine Ramaphosa's accountability for alleged misconduct during and after the 2020 burglary at his Limpopo farm.ActionSA demands full access to disciplinary records and appearances from Ipid and the disciplinary panel to explain divergent conclusions.This development intensifies the impeachment inquiry's focus on executive accountability and institutional integrity.
