JUST IN: Ramaphosa's bid to challenge Phala Phala report at ConCourt dismissed | The Citizen

The Constitutional Court has dismissed President Cyril Ramaphosa’s bid to seek direct access to challenge the findings of the scathing Section 89 Phala Phala report.Ramaphosa wanted direct access to the ConCourt to challenge the report’s findings, but the apex court ruled that “no case has been made out for exclusive jurisdiction or direct access”.This means the president will have to approach the high court to challenge the report’s adverse findings against him.

“The Constitutional Court has considered the application brought by way of exclusive jurisdiction or, alternatively, by way of direct access and the application to intervene. “It has concluded that no cases has been made out for exclusive jurisdiction or direct access and the main application must be dismissed. Consequently, the application to intervene falls to be dismissed. The court has decided not to award costs,” read the judgment from the ConCourt.
