We will uphold the rule of law as Phala Phala moves to impeachment process! This is a serious moment for Parliament, for the Presidency, and for South Africa’s constitutional democracy. The impeachment committee must now do its work properly, rationally, fairly and constitutionally. The President must have the opportunity to account fully. This judgment also draws a clear line between the DA and the ANC. For too long, the ANC has presided over a political culture in which accountability is delayed, diluted or avoided when it becomes inconvenient. The DA stands for a different kind of politics in which the Constitution comes before party loyalty, and no leader is shielded from answering to the people.
