EFF Pushes for Ramaphosa Accountability as Phala Phala Scandal Clouds Presidency

Ramaphosa Faces Double Legal Challenge in Crucial Week for His Presidency

As the Constitutional Court weighs the Economic Freedom Fighters’ (EFF) legal challenge against Parliament’s dismissal of an impeachment inquiry into President Cyril Ramaphosa, the unresolved Phala Phala scandal continues to cast a shadow over his leadership.

The scandal, which involves an unreported burglary at Ramaphosa’s Phala Phala farm and questionable financial dealings, has raised concerns about transparency and accountability at the highest level of government. Despite multiple investigations and public statements by the president, critical questions remain unanswered, further eroding trust in the presidency.

A central issue in the saga is Ramaphosa’s prolonged failure to refund Sudanese businessman Hazim Mustafa for buffalo purchased in 2019. Mustafa paid R8 million for the livestock, yet years later, the president has not completed the refund, despite acknowledging the debt and stating that the process was underway. This unexplained delay has fueled speculation about the transaction’s legitimacy.

Adding to the controversy is the 2020 burglary at Phala Phala, during which large sums of foreign currency were allegedly stolen. Instead of reporting the incident to the police, Ramaphosa alerted his head of security, bypassing standard procedures. This has led to allegations of concealment, further complicating the president’s defense.

Mustafa’s claim that he declared the $580,000 in cash upon entering South Africa is contradicted by the South African Revenue Service (SARS), which has no record of such a declaration. The Hawks are currently investigating the legality of the funds, keeping the scandal in the spotlight.

The EFF, supported by the African Transformation Movement (ATM), argues that Parliament’s decision to dismiss an impeachment inquiry was both unlawful and irrational. They are urging the Constitutional Court to ensure that any prima facie findings against a sitting president automatically trigger a full impeachment investigation.

As the court deliberates, the EFF’s case underscores the broader demand for greater accountability in South Africa’s political system, with the Phala Phala saga serving as a litmus test for the country’s commitment to transparency and the rule of law.
