According to News24, Ramaphosa recently had a meeting with the ANC's top six and still refused to give them further information about the theft and the allegations against him.

Sources within the ANC say Ramaphosa's refusal could cause tension and could be viewed as his avoidance to be held accountable.

The insiders who have details of what happened in the top six meeting, stated that the president would not offer any more information than what he has already told the media. They also added that he insisted on waiting for law enforcement officials to complete their investigation.

"He is not giving details beyond what he told the media. He does not want to be held accountable," said one insider.

In order to hold himself accountable, Ramaphosa volunteered to appear before the ANC integrity commission to explain the allegations he is facing two weeks ago, reports the Daily Maverick. Ramaphosa is yet to follow through with that promise.
