Ramaphosa under siege

• President Cyril Ramaphosa is under siege as the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema has filed an appeal with the Constitutional Court to overturn a ruling that halted impeachment proceedings against him.
• The EFF is challenging a Western Cape High Court ruling that interdicted Parliament's Section 89 impeachment inquiry, citing concerns that the judiciary is undermining the separation of powers and preventing Parliament from exercising its constitutional authority.
• The Constitutional Court is set to hear the appeal, with the Section 89 committee scheduled to meet to discuss the implications of the High Court decision, and President Ramaphosa has reaffirmed his commitment to cooperate with and adhere to accountability processes.
