SOUTH AFRICA : Action SA says while every person has the right to approach the courts, the President cannot use litigation as a shield against political Accountability. The Constitutional Court has ruled that Parliament acted unlawfully in halting the Section 89 process, and unless a competent court orders otherwise, Parliament remains constitutionally obliged to proceed with the establishment of the impeachment committee.
The ACTION SA acting National Communications Director, Mongezi Ntsebenzo says the South Africans deserve full transparency and accountability regarding the millions of rand concealed at Phala Phala, the burglary itself, and the conduct that followed thereafter.
Mongezi says ActionSA will therefore formally write to the Speaker of the National Assembly calling on Parliament to proceed without delay in implementing the Constitutional Court ruling and constituting the Section 89 impeachment committee.
The era of an outright ANC parliamentary majority is over. Parties in the Government of National Unity must now decide whether they serve the people of South Africa and the Constitution, or whether they are more concerned with preserving the comforts and perks associated with Cabinet positions.
“This matter strikes at the heart of public trust in the Presidency and the integrity of constitutional governance. No political arrangement can supersede Parliament’s constitutional duty to hold the executive accountable.”
“As ActionSA, we will continue pursuing accountability through Parliament and all available constitutional mechanisms to ensure that no one, including the President, is above the law.” Concluded Mongezi
