• Economic Freedom Fighters's Member of Parliament Mbuyiseni Ndlozi called for the president’s resignation
• He believes that Cyril Ramaphosa did not work alone to suppress the Phala Phala investigations, and his allies must be accountable
• The African National Congress's National Executive Committee (NEC) is expected to convene for an emergency meeting

JOHANNESBURG - Economic Freedom Fighters' Member of Parliament Mbuyiseni Ndlozi believes that President Cyril Ramaphosa’s allies should be held accountable along with him for the Phala Phala scandal.

There have been numerous calls for the nation’s head to step down amid allegations that he covered up the theft of millions in foreign currency from his farm in Limpopo in 2020. Ndlozi believes that those who assisted Ramaphosa in his illicit activities should also be dealt with.

The MP said it was unlikely that the president acted by himself to suppress the Phala Phala investigations. He called for those who helped with the cover-up to “fall” with Ramaphosa, TimesLIVE reported.

Briefly News also reported that despite the damning findings in the Section 89 panel’s report on the Phala Phala farm theft, President Cyril Ramaphosa is said to be calm and not panicking.

Ramaphosa’s spokesperson Vincent Magwenya stated that the president would not be making a hasty decision about resigning and still needs to study the report and allegations against him.

“It’s not about whether he is panicking, that I can assure you. It’s not about the fact that he lacks confidence in his own caucus."
