Malema believes that Ramaphosa violated the people of South Africa and the African National Congress. He said while ANC staff go without salaries, Ramaphosa sleeps on “top of dollars.”

The Section 89 Independent panel recommended that Ramaphosa answer for a prima facie case over the Phala Phala farm robbery, 702 reported.

Malema welcomed the panel’s finding, which he described as a betrayal of South Africa. He called for the president to “leave with nothing” following the findings.

The leader of the Red Berets added that Ramaphosa was entrusted with upholding, defending, and advancing the country’s laws but failed to do so. Malema said if the president did not step aside, the EFF would expose him and the ANC.

Ramaphosa’s spokesperson Vincent Magwenya told TimesLIVE that Ramaphosa would make an announcement regarding the report in due course.

South Africans have called out Malema for his remarks, saying he himself is not innocent. Here’s what some citizens are saying:

@7herman said:

“So says the CIC and being guilty himself, a matter of the pot calling the kettle black.”

@MrTsoks commented:

“Malema thinks everyone is in politics for their stomach like him.”

@priscillaharker posted:

“What about you and Zuma? Made from the same cloth. Corrupt, thieving, self-serving individuals.”
