The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and the Democratic Alliance (DA) have condemned National Assembly Speaker Thoko Didiza's choice not to contest President Cyril Ramaphosa's legal attempt to halt impeachment proceedings against him. This decision has sparked criticism from both political parties, highlighting divisions in the response to the impeachment process.

Parliament's Impeachment Committee has convened while facing legal action, after the EFF approached the Western Cape High Court to challenge the committee's decision to rescind an earlier recommendation. According to SABC Politics, the party disputes the reversal of the recommendation. The case places the committee's proceedings under judicial scrutiny as it continues its work.

The EFF has approached the court to challenge the decision to rescind a recommendation made by former Public Protector Thuli Madonsela's Section 89 Committee. According to SABC Politics, the party is asking that the decision to rescind the recommendation be declared unlawful and set aside. The Section 89 process relates to parliamentary mechanisms for considering the removal of a sitting head of state. Further details of the case, including the court's response or the merits of the EFF's arguments, were not disclosed in the available report.

The Economic Freedom Fighters has filed an urgent application in the Western Cape High Court seeking to overturn Parliament's decision to rescind the recommendation of Advocate Thandazani Griffiths Madonsela as evidence leader in the Section 89 impeachment inquiry. According to IOL, the party wants the court to set aside the decision to remove Madonsela from the role. The matter relates to the parliamentary process governing the impeachment proceedings.

The US Senate has approved a war powers resolution concerning Iran, with four Republican senators voting in favor of the measure, which may have implications for former President Trump. The resolution aims to limit the president's ability to engage in military action against Iran without congressional approval.

The impeachment committee investigating South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has labeled evidence leader Didiza as 'dishonest' during discussions about the terms of reference for the Section 89 inquiry. This inquiry will examine the circumstances surrounding the theft of US dollars from Ramaphosa's farm, as reported by The Citizen.
