The remarks come after Parliament’s Section 89 panel probing the Phala Phala allegations found that the president may have violated the constitution and the country’s laws. Gungubele made the comments at a post-cabinet briefing.
The minister said he had never noted any untoward behaviour from Ramaphosa. He said the president would explain his plan of action in due course.
The president is facing an impeachment inquiry after the panel found he has a prima facie case to answer, according to EWN.

Gungubele said a prima facie case is not a conclusion of guilt. Ramaphosa was expected to address the nation regarding the report on Thursday, 1 December, but opted against it.
It is still being determined why Ramaphosa changed his mind. However, sources told the Mail & Guardian that ANC national chairperson Gwede Mantashe and national executive committee members told the president they would fight for him.
Citizens react to Mondli Gungubele’s comments:
Gail Byrne said:
“Cyril must go, ANC have you heard about integrity, morals, values, NO.”
Katleho James posted:
“Stomach politics, you can’t tell me there is nothing wrong he can’t see throughout this whole scenario.”
Florence Taljaard wrote:
“If Cyril goes, many will have to follow him.”
Warren Knipe commented:
“ANC doesn’t even respect laws or citizens.”
Andrew Mosehla added:
“He respects the country’s law if being accused not run all over seeking defences not to be surprised if such a matter ends with the accused not being found guilty.”
EFF’s Mbuyiseni Ndlozi says Cyril Ramaphosa and his allies must fall amid release of Phala Phala report
Briefly News also reported that 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.
