Phala-Phala

THE ANC integrity commission kicked for touch in its Phala Phala investigation after President Cyril Ramaphosa refused to explain his role in the alleged theft of millions of undeclared US dollars two years ago at his Limpopo game farm.

The leaked report of the governing party’s ethics body, expected to be tabled before the ANC national executive committee (NEC) meeting this weekend, tiptoes around Ramaphosa’s role in the mishandling of the alleged crime for which he could face charges of corruption, money laundering, and kidnapping.

The commission instead left it to the NEC, dominated by Ramaphosa’s faction, citing that it was most appropriate that the NEC demand answers from him. | IOL
