JOHANNESBURG - The investigation into allegations that President Cyril Ramaphosa violated the Executive Members’ Ethics Code by not reporting a robbery at his Phala Phala farm in Limpopo remains on track, said the Office of the Public Protector on Friday night.

This after a complaint was lodged by the African Transformation Movement.

Four complaints have been received against the president. Two were lodged in terms of the Executive Members’ Ethics Act (EMEA), while the rest were lodged under the Public Protector Act.

The Public Protector’s report into the theft is expected to be completed in the first 10 days of July, but this might not happen, after Ramaphosa requested an extension for the response to the allegations.

“Following a letter written to him for a response to the allegations, the President through his attorneys requested an extension of the initial return date of June 22, 2022. Upon a careful consideration of the request, which was brought to Acting Public Protector Advocate Kholeka Gcaleka’s attention by the investigation officer for approval, it was acceded to,” said the Public Protector.

“It must be noted that requests such as the President’s are quite common where the PPSA’s investigative work is concerned. In fact, the President made a similar request in respect of a previous EMEA investigation (Bosasa) and that request was also acceded to.

“Decisions to accede to such requests are always informed by a careful consideration of the reasons advanced by respondents, the need on the part of the PPSA to be fair to respondents and the amount of information requested from the respondents.”

Should the Public Protector not be able to submit the report after the 30 days lapse, she must report the matter and submit another report when the investigation has been completed.
