- Julius Malema called for Parliament to reopen the Phala Phala investigation and hold President Ramaphosa accountable for the controversy.
- The march proceeded from Mary Fitzgerald Square to the Constitutional Court, pressing for the delayed verdict’s publication.
- Malema questioned the president’s reasoning for hiding millions of US dollars in a sofa rather than a safe.
- He also demanded the arrest of Director of Public Prosecutions Shamila Batohi for failing to act on the evidence.
If we pass a motion of no confidence against Ramaphosa, he’s going to get his salary for the rest of his life. But if we impeach him, impeachment means he gets removed as the president, and he loses all the benefits, including the salary. That is what we want.— Julius Malema, during a speech at a march demanding the impeachment of President Cyril Ramaphosa.
