JOHANNESBURG - Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana told Reuters he thinks President Cyril Ramaphosa should continue with his job, doing whatever he could to defend himself, over the panel report that found evidence he may have violated the Constitution. The inquiry centres on the theft of an estimated $4 million from the billionaire president’s farm in 2020, which only came to light in June.

With only two seats in Parliament, the African Transformation Movement (ATM) leader Vuyolwethu Zungula has become the proverbial

David of the biblical David vs Goliath scripture. This follows the Section 89 independent panel report which found that President Ramaphosa had a prima facie case to answer on the Phala Phala farm robbery debacle.

On social media and other platforms, many expressed that if it were not for the role played by the ATM leader, who was the first to call for the Section 89 inquiry, it would not have been instituted.

President Ramaphosa should not be allowed inside the venue of the 55th ANC National Conference, set for

Nasrec from December 16–18, 2022.

These are the assertions made by the Spokesperson of the disbanded Umkhonto we Sizwe Military Veterans Association (MKMVA), Carl Niehaus, following damning findings against Ramaphosa by the Section 89 independent panel.

President Ramaphosa is under unprecedented pressure to resign or provide more details on why the Section 89 independent panel found that there is prima facie evidence of serious misconduct against him over the foreign currency that was found at his property. -TimesLive

JOHANNESBURG - President Cyril Ramaphosa cannot decide whether to resign or not because he is addicted to being indecisive. Even in this moment of profound crisis for him, the ANC and our democracy he is prevaricating.

Prevarication is his default leadership mode. Throughout his presidency he has displayed this fear of committing to clearly articulated positions on crucial questions of the day and that same trope of indecision is now on display as we wait for him to tell us what he thinks and what he has decided.

I have had a crazy number of conversations and interviews over the past 24 hours with local and international friends and journalists and other people with an interest in this story of the independent panel’s finding that Ramaphosa has a prima facie case to answer in response to whether he had seriously violated the constitution or other sources of law or whether he is otherwise guilty of serious misconduct.

The speculative questions I keep getting are: “What do you think he will do? What do you think is the reason he did not address the country yesterday already?”

I do not know what he will do.
