The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) will picket at the Constitutional Court ahead of the handing down of judgment in the matter of Economic Freedom Fighters and Another v Speaker of the National Assembly and Others (CCT 35/24), which will be delivered by the Constitutional Court on Friday, 08 May 2026 at 10h00.

The matter concerns the EFF’s application to have the Section 89 Independent Panel Report into the Phala Phala scandal returned to Parliament for proper constitutional consideration, after the National Assembly failed in its oversight responsibilities and moved to shield President Cyril Ramaphosa from accountability. The judgment comes 521 days after the matter was argued before the Constitutional Court.

The picket will be held under the following details:

Time: 07h00 Date: Friday, 08 May 2026 Venue: Constitutional Court of South Africa, Braamfontein, Johannesburg
