The Presidency has defended President Cyril Ramaphosa’s decision to petition the Constitutional Court (ConCourt) in a bid to review the adverse findings made against him in the Section 89 Phala Phala report.
The apex court ruled that “no case has been made out for exclusive jurisdiction or direct access”. This means Ramaphosa will have to approach the high court to challenge the report’s scathing findings against him.
“Our view is that he was correct in doing so because the matter concerned a report that was seized with the conduct of the president. Our view is that the ConCourt was the right court to hear the matter,” said Magwenya. “That judgment deals with what I would call a procedural matter with respect to the president seeking direct access to the Constitutional Court. That judgment does not pronounce on the merits of the case.Magwenya said the ConCourt’s ruling on the matter could, therefore, not be considered to be a blow for Ramaphosa.
