President Cyril Ramaphosa will not be called to appear before the Section 194 Committee handling Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane's impeachment.

"Members have spoken, we are not asking the chair to subpoena the president," committee chairperson Qubudile Dyantyi said at the committee's meeting on Tuesday.

The committee received a legal opinion that Ramaphosa should only be called if his testimony is relevant.

Several African National Congress MPs, and Freedom Front Plus MP Corné Mulder said Ramaphosa's testimony would not be relevant to the committee's work, which is to determine whether Mkhwebane has misconducted herself or is incompetent.

Her legal counsel, Advocate Dali Mpofu, asked the committee to subpoena Ramaphosa after the president declined their invitation to appear before the committee.
