As MPs work to finalise the report, disagreements over its contents are beginning to emerge.

ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula has declined to weigh in on whether victims of apartheid-era crimes should receive compensation through the Khampepe Commission, saying he is unsure if that is the commission’s role. Appearing before the inquiry, Mbalula maintained that as former police minister, his responsibilities were limited to policy and oversight, not criminal investigations. His testimony forms part of the commission’s probe into allegations that investigations and prosecutions linked to Truth and Reconciliation Commission cases were deliberately obstructed. Phemelo speaks to Kaya News reporter Keneiloe Huma with the latest from the inquiry. www.kaya959.co.za · Kayafm

President Cyril Ramaphosa is asking the courts to temporarily pause Parliament’s impeachment process, not stop it altogether. His legal team argues the inquiry should only continue once the courts decide whether the Section 89 panel report that triggered it is legally valid. The Western Cape High Court heard that the request is simply to preserve the status quo until a review is heard in September. The case follows the Constitutional Court’s ruling that Parliament acted unlawfully when it blocked an impeachment inquiry linked to the Phala Phala scandal. Phemelo speaks to legal expert Mpumelelo Zikalala about what this court battle could mean for the president and Parliament www.kaya959.co.za · Kayafm
