President Cyril Ramaphosa is considering his legal options after the Constitutional Court rejected his bid to challenge the section 89 independent panel report which recommended that he has a case to answer on the Phala Phala farm scandal.

However, in a brief order on Wednesday, the ConCourt said that “no case has been made for exclusive jurisdiction or direct access”. The case must therefore be dismissed, it said. It made no order on costs.judgment dealt with a procedural matter with respect to the president seeking direct access to the Constitutional Court. “It just says there is no case for the ConCourt to be petitioned directly. I have heard some say that it is a blow to the president. It’s not a blow to the president.

“That report remains flawed and needs to be challenged. You may include a continued challenge to that report.”“The president petitioned the Constitutional Court to review the section 89 report. The assertion around taking parliament to court was a political suggestion by some which has no merit whatsoever.
