Tara Roos previews new book: ANC, Phala Phala, Helen Zille, Ramaphosa impeachment, GNU, Joburg

SMWX Contributor, Tara Roos, joins Dr Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh for a conversation about her new book: Where to from here? This book delves into coalition politics in South Africa and an analysis of who were the winners, losers and survivors of the 2024 election. In this conversation, we also unpack various current affairs issues like President Ramaphosa's review application of Parliament's s89 panel report, the mayoral race in Joburg and GNU dynamics ahead of a local government election at the end of the year.

Ramaphosa threatens Parliament with interdict

President Ramaphosa has finally brought his review application to court. The President is reviewing Parliament's s89 panel report on Phala Phala and this is in an attempt for the court to set the report aside and halt the impeachment process. Interestingly, the President has decided not to bring an interdict application in the immediate, but has rather threatened to bring the urgent interdict application should Parliament not halt its impeachment process. We unpack this and the road ahead.
