Phala Phala skeletons refuse to stay buried: Ramaphosa’s secrecy battle heads to court

ActionSA’s parliamentary team is writing to the portfolio committees on the Presidency and on police to institute an urgent inquiry into the failure to comply with the recommendations of the IPID report, as well as the apparent abuse of executive authority.

— Said by ActionSA national chairperson Michael Beaumont, regarding calls for an urgent inquiry into IPID report non-compliance and abuse of executive authority.

Your Phala Phala scandal has rendered you ineffective when dealing with corruption and incompetence in your party and in your Cabinet.

— Julius Malema, leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters, during the debate on the State of the Nation Address.

The fact that his protection team members were involved in the investigation of the robbery at his farm, in contravention of SAPS policy and law, has been covered up to reward those who covered up for the president.

— Michael Beaumont, chairperson of ActionSA, commented on the IPID report and the investigations related to it.

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.
