National Assembly speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula told MPs on Thursday that the legislature would abide by the court’s decision. He asked the court to declare the report unlawful and set it aside, particularly its finding that he may have been involved in impeachable conduct. The president also asked the court to declare that “any steps taken by the National Assembly pursuant to the report are equally unlawful and invalid”.

The panel said in its recommendation that the information it had been given disclosed “prima facie” that the president may have committed serious violations of the constitution and law, and serious misconduct.
