Ramaphosa: Section 89 panel misunderstood its mandate on Phala Phala farm saga

JOHANNESBURG - President Cyril Ramaphosa on Monday accused the Section 89 panel of misunderstanding its mandate when considering the Phala Phala farm saga.

Ramaphosa decided to take the report that found he may have violated the Constitution on review to the Constitutional Court.The three-member panel led by retired chief justice Sandile Ngcobo found that he failed to report the theft of millions in foreign currency from his farm to the relevant authorities.

It also found that there is prima facie evidence that there was a deliberate intention not to investigate the crime committed on the farm openly. In a bid to have the Section 89 panel report set aside, Ramaphosa's argument is that the panel must not just determine whether there is a prima facie case against him but whether sufficient evidence exists to warrant an impeachment process.

Ramaphosa also argued that the panel overlooked the fact that serious misconduct and serious violation of the Constitution or law depend on deliberately acting in bad faith.

last week it was about Zuma and the illegal medical parole the question was....is Zuma going back to jail ...this phala phala feels like ...look left everyone nothing to see here ..keeping Sa distracted by cyril when the real story of Zuma and his jailtime are hushed
