This week on Politics Weekly we reflect on the public protector’s preliminary report, which seems to have exonerated President Cyril Ramaphosa over the Phala Phala scandal.
Phala Phala Wildlife in Bela Bela, Limpopo, came under the spotlight when former spy boss Arthur Fraser opened a criminal case against President Cyril Ramaphosa after a robbery at the farm in which a large sum of foreign cash was allegedly stolen. File photo.This week on Politics Weekly we reflect on the public protector’s leaked preliminary report, which seems to have exonerated President Cyril Ramaphosa over the Phala Phala scandal.
The long-awaited public protector report on Phala Phala has largely cleared Ramaphosa, while heaping most of the blame for the debacle on his head of protection services, Maj-Gen Wally Rhoode. The panel discusses the report and other agencies looking into the Farmgate saga. “President Ramaphosa should be investigated like any other criminal suspect,” says Rabkin as she enlightens us on the legal aspects of the report and others inquiring about the robbery at the president’s farm, while Vilakazi gives a political assessment questioning how Ramaphosa has not been found guilty.
The discussion concludes with the panel inspecting retired arms deal inquiry judges Willie Seriti and Hendricks Musi’s predicament as they challenge the constitutionality of the Judicial Service Act.
