Ramaphosa objects to Madonsela’s appointment as chief evidence leader

President Cyril Ramaphosa has raised concerns over the appointment of advocate Thandazani Madonsela as chief evidence leader for the impeachment inquiry.

The President has cited a conflict of interest regarding the advocate’s past roles within the ANC and the Judicial Service Commission (JSC).

Ramaphosa has formally objected to the Impeachment Committee’s recommendation of the appointment, as the committee prepares to move forward with its mandate.
