The Constitutional Court has dismissed Cyril Ramaphosa’s application to declare unlawful and set aside an independent panel’s report to parliament that recommended he has a case to answer for.

Seeking to set aside the report, Ramaphosa went to the ConCourt on the basis that his application was within its exclusive jurisdiction. He said this was because when the independent panel was conducting its preliminary inquiry, it was fulfilling a constitutional obligation of parliament.

In terms of the constitution, only the apex court can decide if parliament has failed to fulfil its constitutional obligation. However, in a brief order, the court said “no case has been made out for exclusive jurisdiction or direct access”.READ MORE:

Your heading in this tweet is misleading. The only thing that was dismissed was direct access. The court did not consider the merits of the report.

Eish boss Oppenheimer, what now? Please advise!

Zondo et al are doing Ramaphosa a favour. By refusing to hear the matter they’ve guaranteed that there will be no adverse findings against him. The High Court won’t listen to it because it is now moot. Well done and well played CJ.

He must resign....

Some good news for a change.
