The Democratic Alliance has started a parliamentary process to try to remove President Jacob Zuma from office because of the way South Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir was allowed to leave the country in violation of a court order. Bashir was allowed to leave Waterkloof Air Force Base and return to South Sudan in spite of a North Gauteng High Court order instructing the government to keep him from leaving the country.DA leader Mmusi Maimane said yesterday that Zuma had acted in violation of the constitution by denying the rule of law. The opposition party believes this calls for the impeachment of the president.No process of impeachment is defined in the constitution, but DA spokesman Mabine Seabe said yesterday impeachment was synonymous with "removing the president", as defined in section 89 of the constitution.The DA will ask that its motion be debated in the assembly on August 18, where a vote by a third of the house will be required to establish an ad hoc committee to investigate the impeachment charge.In response, the ANC said the DA's efforts were just a cheap publicity stunt."No court of law has ever found the president guilty of violation of the law or the constitution."Mmusi Maimane's motion amounts to political posturing," said ANC caucus spokesman Moloto Mothapo."As we have stated, all heads of states and delegates that attended the African Union summit in Sandton were granted diplomatic immunity by the government in line with international standards and practices related to events such as the one held recently in our country. This diplomatic immunity was granted in terms of the laws of this country and this simply means that the government was duty bound to ensure that President Al-Bashir enjoyed the privileges of such immunity," said Mothapo...
