The African National Congress (ANC) says its step-aside resolution has not been implemented against President Cyril Ramaphosa, as police have not yet levelled formal charges on allegations of a theft incident at his farm in Limpopo. PhalaPhalaFarm
ANC’s spokesperson Pule Mabe says, “The organisation has again expressed full confidence in the President of the ANC. You step aside when you are indicted to appear in a court of law and have been charged with serious crimes. As matters stand, President Cyril Ramaphosa has not been charged with any crime.”
“Simply going to a police station and opening a case does not mean that persons are charged. Investigations must be undertaken and the police must then be convinced that there are prospects of success. So those who are coming out to say the President must step aside, the president of the ANC is not criminally charged,” explains Mabe.Last week, former State Security Agency director-general

The party leader Julius Malema says it has submitted questions to Parliament, to which Ramaphosa has ten working days to respond. They include questions about how much money was stolen on the President’s Limpopo farm, in what currency, and whether the President has stored money elsewhere.
“The Committee has revealed itself of being not partial to future transgressions of members of the ANC. So I think that it will rubber-stamp any and every idea that he will put forward,” adds Vilakazi.
