As receivedTo senator Mungatana, read the constitution:
A motion for impeachment of the Deputy president can only originate in the National Assembly pursuant to Article 150 of the Constitution.
The motion must be supported by one third which 117 Members and then supported by 233 Members of the National Assembly for it to pass.
After passage in the National Assembly, it then makes its way to the Senate to be considered as appropriate including hearing by the Senate or special Committee and thereafter the Senate will vote on the charges if supported by two thirds of all the members of the Senate, the person shall stand impeached.
The Senate cannot therefore initiate the motion.
To note is that also only a Member of the Assembly can initiate the process.
