The former MP said the country will hear “ridiculous stories” about why Ramaphosa can not be charged since the NPA, and police minister will avoid charging the president, TimesLIVE reported. He said the criminal complaint is a “mouse trap” that Ramaphosa will fight.

Shivambu suggested that the government entities will manufacture evidence to prove Ramaphosa is innocent.

“All the important government institutions are currently being frogmarched into recreation of what exactly happened at the farm. Fictional buyers will be sought, the amounts understated, SARB and SARS approvals backdated. Then press conference on Friday to tell lies with impunity,” the EFF deputy shared on Twitter.
