The African Transformation Movement (ATM) says it is confident the Constitutional Court will provide clarity on last week's Western Cape High Court ruling, which granted President Cyril Ramaphosa a temporary interdict halting the work of Parliament's Section 89 Impeachment Committee.
The ATM, which is the respondent in the matter, initiated the impeachment process following the Phala Phala controversy.
The committee was established to determine whether sufficient grounds exist for Parliament to begin impeachment proceedings against the President.
Addressing the media in Durban on Monday, ATM leader Vuyo Zungula said the party welcomed the opportunity for the country's highest court to clarify the legal position.
"We want to assure South Africans that if anyone occupies public office, they must be held accountable," Zungula said.
He argued that a lack of accountability has contributed to broader governance challenges facing the country.
"The reason why there is the Madlanga Commission, there is all of this mess that we have in our country, it is because there is a culture of impunity," he said.
Zungula also criticised what he described as inconsistent standards when it comes to holding public officials accountable.
"People start changing their tune because their favourite is going to be held accountable, but if it's someone that they do not like, they aggressively push accountability for that person," he said.
"It cannot be because President Ramaphosa is the President of the country that he must be subjected to different laws."
The Constitutional Court is expected to consider the legal questions arising from the High Court's decision, which temporarily suspended the work of the impeachment committee while the matter is being challenged.
