JOHANNESBURG - The African National Congress (ANC) Veterans' League has decided to give President Cyril Ramaphosa a chance to review the Section 89 report before revoking its support.

The Veterans' League President, Snuki Zikalala, said Ramaphosa should be allowed to challenge the findings from the scathing report. However, if the Constitutional Court determines that there is a case, they'll ask him to step down, reported TimesLIVE.

Zikalala stated that the panel of experts could not make irrefutable findings, and that's why they have given Ramaphosa a chance to contest the report.

"We were shocked by the findings. Initially, when we read the panel’s report, we did not go deeper into it. We just said, 'no, he must go'. That was our first reaction, but when we went deeper into the findings, we found it has lots of loopholes like ‘he may have’. You cannot punish a person on issues like ‘may’, you must have concrete evidence that this person has violated the constitution."

Zikalala added that ANC veterans are also waiting for the outcome of the investigation by the South African Revenue Service (SARS) and Hawks to determine if Ramaphosa broke foreign currency laws.
