In 2022, President Cyril Ramaphosa successfully sidestepped an impeachment inquiry, largely due to the backing of his ANC-dominated parliament. This political maneuvering allowed him to maintain his position amidst significant scrutiny.

However, the situation has changed as South Africa's top court has revived the impeachment inquiry. This development raises questions about Ramaphosa's ability to navigate a parliament that now includes former adversaries.

As he faces this renewed challenge, the dynamics within the parliament will be crucial. The outcome of this inquiry could have significant implications for his presidency and the future of South African politics.
