EFF applies to Con Court to reopen Phala Phala investigation

Johnathan Paoli

THE EFF on Thursday officially launched its application in the Constitutional Court to declare Parliament’s decision not to adopt the independent panel’s report on Phala Phala “irrational and unlawful”.

The independent panel, appointed by Parliament, was led by retired Chief Justice Sandile Ngcobo and found that President Cyril Ramaphosa may have violated his oath of office in relation to the stolen American Dollars that were hidden in his sofa.

The panel report that Ramaphosa had a prima facie case to answer was rejected by the ANC using its majority in Parliament, meaning the President was not compelled to answer any questions or be probed further.
