Farmgate Impeachment Shock: Parliament will set up an impeachment committee into President Cyril Ramaphosa after the Constitutional Court revived the “Farmgate” probe, but Ramaphosa insists he will not resign and says he’ll challenge the Section 89 panel report on review—while the DA warns any legal bid must not delay Parliament’s work. Political Pressure Mounts: The ANC is expected to rally internally as opposition parties push for accountability, and procedural steps are now moving fast to give the committee a mandate. Rule-of-Law Fight: Ramaphosa’s address frames the court ruling as process-focused, not a finding of misconduct—setting up a high-stakes legal and parliamentary standoff. Other News: Cricket South Africa postponed its Women’s T20 World Cup squad announcement minutes before it was due to go live, citing internal reviews; and a new study warns Middle East conflict rerouting is increasing whale collision risks off South Africa.
