The new rule determines the various processes to be followed to remove a President from office. It was developed in 2018 following a successful Constitutional Court challenge by the EFF versus the former National Assembly Speaker Baleka Mbete in December 2017. Other parties that joined the EFF court bid were the UDM, COPE and the DA.
The African Transformations Movement has successfully invoked Rule 129 to initiate a process in terms of Section 89 of the Constitution. The ATM draft substantive motion was approved by National Assembly Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula who then had to refer the motion to an independent panel for assessment and also informed the President about the motion as provided for in Rule 129 .
The Section 89 Independent Panel is expected to conclude its work within thirty days before submitting its report to the Speaker. It already started its work on 19 October 2022. “Well as the ATM, there is nothing new that we are expecting from Mr Ramaphosa in this Phala Phala matter. We just hope and believe that he will not try to frustrate this process by asking for further extensions as he did with other state institutions like Public Protector, the Reserve Bank and others. We want to see him stepping down if there is nothing new to say. We do not want this panel process to be frustrated in any manner.
The report will then be submitted to the Speaker still within the thirty-day period. The report will indicate if there is prima facie evidence for President Ramaphosa to face a Section 89 Inquiry or not.Once the Speaker has received the panel’s report with the findings and recommendations, she must urgently bring it before the National Assembly for consideration as provided for in National Assembly Rule 129 .
