President Cyril Ramaphosa's path to side-stepping an impeachment process won't be smooth, and the stumbling blocks are coming from within his own ranks.
A group of ANC MPs against Ramaphosa are planning to vote with the opposition to adopt the section 89 panel's Phala Phala report.
Leading the group is controversial ANC MP Mervyn Dirks and former North West premier Supra Mahumapelo, who are confident that their numbers could trigger the impeachment committee.
