Advocate Mahlape Sello also acted for the Presidency. Should she have stood down from the panel?

A human rights scholar has noted that the panel report left Ramaphosa and future Presidents “vulnerable to ‘impeachment by suspicion’ at the instance of minority parties in the National Assembly and the prospect of weak coalitions will further weaponise impeachment as it has motions of no confidence”.

A source at Parliament who requested anonymity said the process “is just a mess. I’m not sure how Parliament arrived at this point.” He said the rules developed to guide the Section 89 risked destabilising the country. He said that the threshold for possible impeachment of a President was lower than that for removing a head of a Chapter 9 institution like the Public Protector or Independent Electoral Commission.

In the video, Sello appears to grab a colleague and wag a finger at Magashule, saying: “You tell your [client]… you owe me sleep… you owe me lots of sleep.”
