Ramaphosa launches another fight

• President Cyril Ramaphosa has formally objected to Advocate Thandazani Madonsela's appointment as Evidence Leader of the Impeachment Committee due to potential conflict of interest.
• The objection stems from concerns that Madonsela was previously removed by President Ramaphosa as his appointee to the Judicial Service Commission and had advised the ANC on matters related to the impeachment enquiry, raising questions about a potential sense of grievance or bias.
• The Impeachment Committee is now consulting with legal services to assess options for responding to the president's objection, which may impact the continuation of the impeachment procedure.
