PRESIDENT Cyril Ramaphosa remained defiant on Wednesday night amid growing calls for him to resign over the Phala Phala forex scandal.
This after a damning Section 89 panel report which found that Ramaphosa may have committed a serious violation of anti-corruption laws and the Constitution.
The panel’s report presents a massive headache for the ANC as it heads to an elective conference in December and crucial national elections in 2024.
On Wednesday night, Ramaphosa reiterated the statement he made in his submission to the independent panel: “I have endeavored, throughout my tenure as President, not only to abide by my oath but to set an example of respect for the Constitution, for its institutions, for due process and the law. I categorically deny that I have violated this oath in any way, and I similarly deny that I am guilty of any of the allegations made against me.”
