NATIONAL NEWS - Political parties have yet to agree on how the impeachment of a sitting president should be governed.
The National Assembly’s subcommittee on rules has reconvened to continue working on draft proposals to give effect to Section 89 of the Constitution.
Parliament was ordered by the Constitutional Court to put specific rules in place without delay.
The so-called impeachment clause in the Constitution allows for the president to be removed on the grounds of serious misconduct, serious violation of the Constitution or the law, or incapacity.
The big question is: who defines what "serious" means?
