The businessman said he is “prepared for the war” and added he knows that the president will “unleash snipers” following the case for the theft of intellectual property.

Presidency Spokesperson Vincent Magwenya told TimesLIVE that Ramaphosa’s office would let the police investigation run its course.

The theft case follows the Phala Phala scandal in which the president faces allegations of money laundering, kidnapping, corruption, and the alleged cover-up of a burglary at his Limpopo farm in 2020.

South Africans react to the allegations:

@SelbyNhleko said:

“The one he presented to us as Eskom’s recovery kanti he stole it.”

@Mzobanzi_N21 commented:

“Ramaphosa is a mess this country doesn’t need such a disgraceful team leader I don’t see anything good in this face.”

@errolbsk added:

“They can open 200 cases; the man won’t be removed and will win in December. Simple.”
