FLOOD WARNING FORCES OVERNIGHT EVACUATION ...
PRETORIA - President Cyril Ramaphosa will meet the deadline to respond to the independent panel probing the Phala Phala allegations.
Yesterday, Ramaphosa’s Spokesperson, Vincent Magwenya, told a media briefing that Ramaphosa would submit his responses to the panel on time.
“The president, with respect to the inquiry panel, will deliver his submission to the panel by November 6 (tomorrow), as per the published rules. Those rules do not provide for a direct in-person engagement, but he will comply with the ruling and the deadline. The details of the president’s submission, I suppose, will be made available once the panel concludes its work,” Magwenya said.
Submit
Ramaphosa has until tomorrow to submit his responses.
The period of October 22 to 27 was the timeframe allowed for any member of the National Assembly to submit information on the issue.
Ramaphosa has been allocated the period of October 28, to November
6, to respond to information and questions received.
Between November 7 and 17, the panel will consider all information received, conduct any additional research, deliberate on the facts, and write and finalise its report.
National Assembly Speaker Nosiviwe Nqakula appointed the Section 89 inquiry panel following a motion by ATM leader Vuyolwethu Zungula for Ramaphosa’s removal on the grounds of ‘a serious violation of the Constitution or the law and serious misconduct’.
