Ramaphosa shouldn't resign but we "have to proceed to second phase" in impeachment process

Loading player...
The Good party is one of the lone voices among opposition parties that isn't calling on President Cyril Ramaphosa to resign based on the preliminary findings of the independent panel's report on Phala Phala. The party's secretary general, Brett Herron, spoke to BizNews correspondent Michael Appel about Good's perspective on the "untested findings” and the precedent it would set should anyone be required to step down based on prima facie findings without thoroughly interrogating their veracity. Herron wouldn't commit to how Good would vote in the motion being debated on Tuesday to establish a more substantial impeachment inquiry, but left the door open to the possibility of voting in the affirmative. He made the point that while the media may be playing the numbers game on how many ANC MPs would be required to vote with opposition parties to pass the motion with the required 50% plus one, opposition parties are not united on the stance that will be taken on Tuesday.
