ZAJulius Malema, leader of South Africa's Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), has filed a motion to remove National Assembly Speaker Thoko Didiza over her handling of the impeachment process against President Cyril Ramaphosa. The motion argues that Didiza prioritized political interests over constitutional duties by not opposing Ramaphosa's request to halt the impeachment committee's work. Malema claims Didiza acted unconstitutionally by making a major decision before seeking legal advice and later using legal opinions to justify her actions, which he says raised concerns about impartiality and political bias. The motion also accuses Didiza of undermining the multiparty nature of Parliament by making unilateral decisions and placing party politics above constitutional obligations. Several political parties have criticized Didiza for her role in the impeachment process.
