Malema to file legal application at Concourt to impeach Zuma

The EFF intends for speaker of parliament Baleka Mbete to put Zuma on trial.


In a statement released today, the EFF said it would deliver a court application to the Constitutional Court to order the speaker of Parliament to institute impeachment or disciplinary proceedings against President Zuma for conduct associated with the Nkandla scandal, including lying to Parliament on numerous occasions.

“Tomorrow is exactly one year since the Concourt handed down its historic judgment in the EFF’s Nkandla application. Since then we have made numerous appeals and wrote several letters to the speaker of Parliament. All have fallen on deaf ears and have been met with violence by Parliament on EFF MPs.

“We approach the Constitutional Court as a last resort based on the belief that Zuma’s conduct around the Nkandla matter, both inside and outside of Parliament, renders him unfit to hold the high office of president of the Republic of South Africa.”
