Parliament’s Impeachment Committee has decided to reconsider its recommendation of Advocate Thandazani Madonsela as its evidence leader, following objections from President Cyril Ramaphosa over two alleged conflicts of interest. While Parliament’s legal advisers say the original appointment was valid, the committee says it will review the decision in the interests of procedural fairness. At the same time, a legal challenge is set to be heard in the Western Cape High Court from 2 to 4 September.
