👉 Parliament’s Role: Did the National Assembly act within the law when it voted (214–148) to reject the independent panel’s findings in December 2022?

👉 Presidential Accountability: Should Ramaphosa face an impeachment inquiry for failing to report the theft properly and for the handling of foreign currency?

👉 Rule of Law: Opposition parties argue that no president should be “above the law.”

Will the outcome be "a day of mourning for our democracy?"

YES
