On Tuesday, the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria set aside Mkhwebane’s report into President Cyril Ramaphosa and his ANC presidential (CR17) campaign in a scathing judgment which a full Bench handed down.

The court ruled that Mkhwebane did not have the jurisdiction to investigate the CR17 campaign.

Mkhwebane was said to have displayed a lack of basic understanding of the law and to have been reckless in reaching serious findings against Ramaphosa in her report.

In this episode of The Story, we speak to News24 investigative reporter Kyle Cowan who was at court when the judgment was handed down.
