47SIGNING OFF: After months of anticipation and concerns that 30 June could be a repeat of the July 2021 riots, the worst-case scenario has been avoided. </p><p>At this stage, there have been no reported fatalities, no mass looting, no targeted attacks on infrastructure.</p><p>March and March and its associated groups drew significant crowds in Joburg and Durban, where Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma continued to spout xenophobic rhetoric, and vowed to keep protesting until her groupâs demands were met. However, the protests remained were relatively peaceful compared to what had been feared.</p><p>Although haphazardly applied, organisers attempted to keep protesters in line while a massive deployment of police and private security was on hand to respond to violence.</p><p>In some areas, however, protesters intimidated and assaulted those they perceived to be foreign. They unlawfully carried traditional weapons, damaged property and went house-to-house, targeting suspected undocumented migrants. </p><p>This follows months of marches and localised attempts to intimidate foreigners, leading other African countries to repatriate their citizens, with more than 15,000 Malawians fleeing the country. Four people were killed in the build-up to 30 June. </p><p>At the time of writing, protests are continuing in a number of areas and there is a risk that overnight â and in the days and weeks ahead â attacks could continue and the violence could escalate.</p><p>Stay tuned to Daily Maverick as we continue to unpack the day and our reporters bring you the latest news and analysis of what it all means. </p><p>For now, weâre signing off on the blog.

47stitutional Court judgment raises fundamental political questions for South Africaâs future. The court ordered on 8 May 2026 that an impeachment committee into President Cyril Ramaphosaâs conduct be established to interrogate the Section 89 impeachment inquiry panel finalised in 2022 and then voted against by an ANC majority later that year. The judgment raises five immediate big political questions. <a href=\"https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2026-05-08-will-president-cyril-ramaphosa-resign-five-questions-we-answer-for-you/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Read more.</a></p><p><img src=\"https://cdn.dailymaverick.co.za/liveblogs/6052715352140286371.jpg\" /></p>"],"user":[0,"Ferial Haffajee"],"user_thumbnail":[0,""]}],[0,{"id":[0,"2936615"],"timestamp":[0,"2026-05-08 16:03:49"],"text":[0,""],"title":[0,"In pictures: Constitutional Court delivers major Ramaphosa ruling"],"minute":[0,"In pictures: Constitutional Court delivers major Ramaphosa ruling"],"minute_additional":[0,0],"typeId":[0,""],"imageLetter":[0,""],"highlight":[0,false],"html":[0,"<p>The Constitutional Court ruled this morning, Friday 8 May 2026, on the EFF and ATMâs case against Parliament for its decision in December 2022 not to adopt the Section 89 panel report that could have led to an impeachment inquiry into President Cyril Ramaphosa over the heist at his Limpopo game farm.

The president said the report was based on hearsay evidence and approached the ConCourt to have it set aside. </p><p>After the judgment, the EFF held a victory rally, and its leader Julius Malema said Ramaphosa should resign or step aside in line with ANC rules of conduct. </p><p>DA leader Geordin Hill-Lewis said the party would adhere to the judgment, as did ActionSA. ActionSA used information access laws to have an Independent Police Investigative Directorate report made public. That report made numerous findings of police misconduct in how the Phala Phala saga was investigated. This report is likely to be considered by the impeachment committee. </p><p>ANC spokesperson Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri said the party respected the judgment and would be discussing it at an NEC meeting. Itâs now all eyes on Parliament to see how soon it will institute the impeachment committee and change the rule by which it decided to take the Section 89 panel straight to a vote, rather than to have it aired by a parliamentary committee.</p>"],"user":[0,"Ferial Haffajee"],"user_thumbnail":[0,""]}]]]}]]]}],"seo":[0,{"search_title":[0,"BLOG: ConCourt orders Parliament to consider impeaching Ramaphosa in EFF victory"],"search_description":[0,"The Constitutional Court has ordered that President Cyril Ramaphosa&#39;s Phala Phala matter must be aired before an impeachment committee.
