ActionSA sê die Onafhanklike Polisieondersoek-direktoraat het 30 dae uitstel gevra vir die party se aansoek volgens die Wet op die Bevordering van Toegang tot Inligting. Die PAIA-aansoek vra die bekendmaking van die OPOD-verslag oor die presidensiële beskermingseenheid se betrokkenheid by die Phala Phala-diefstalsaak in 2020. Die minister van Polisie, Senzo Mchunu, het die verslag as “hoogs geheim” geklassifiseer. ActionSA-woordvoerder Michael Beaumont sê OPOD voer aan sy e-posstelsel was vanlyn en daarom het hy die aanvanklike sperdatum in Mei misgeloop:

The trial of the three accused in the February 2020 theft at President Cyril Ramaphosa's Phala Phala farm has been postponed and will resume later in the year at the Modimolle Regional Court in Limpopo. Immanuela David and siblings, Floriana and Ndilinasho Joseph, allegedly broke into President Ramaphosa's farm and stole over 580 000 US dollars hidden in a sofa. Immanuela David has been denied bail and is in police custody. The Joseph siblings were granted bail.
Die liggame van die drie vermiste polisiekonstabels is gevind, maar die raaisel oor hulle voertuig duur voort. Minder padsterftes is oor die Paastyd aangemeld. Action SA dien 'n PAIA-aansoek in om die OPOD-verslag oor Phala Phala te bekom. Suid-Afrika stel sy saak aan die Internasionale Geregshof oor die humanitêre krisis in Gasa.
ActionSA has filed a formal application under the Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA) to obtain the Independent Police Investigative Directorate's (IPID) report on the theft at President Cyril Ramaphosa's Phala Phala farm in Limpopo.

ActionSA sê hy sal hof toe gaan, indien nodig, om die vrystelling van die Onafhanklike Polisieondersoekdirektoraat se verslag oor die diefstal by president Cyril Ramaphosa se Phala Phala-plaas in Limpopo af te dwing. Die party het 'n formele aansoek ingevolge die Wet op die Bevordering van Toegang tot Inligting ingedien nadat die polisieminister, Senzo Mchunu, die verslag as hoogs-geheim bestempel het. Michael Beaumont van ActionSA sê die regering van nasionale eenheid misluk daarin om president Ramaphosa tot verantwoording te roep:

Die EFF het 'n beroep op president Cyril Ramaphosa gedoen om op sy plaas Phala Phala in Limpopo te fokus in plaas daarvan om leë beloftes te maak. Omphile Maotwe van die party het tydens die staatsrededebat vir Ramaphosa gekritiseer oor sy versuim om vorige verpligtinge aan te pak, veral die stygende lewenskoste en werkloosheid wat die land aanhoudend teister. Maotwe het aangevoer dit is nodig om dringende stappe te doen, soos die onteiening van grond sonder vergoeding en om die Suid-Afrikaanse Reserwebank te nasionaliseer.
President Cyril Ramaphosa's State of the Nation Address has ignited a fierce debate, with African Christian Democratic Party (ACDP) leader Kenneth Meshoe sharply criticizing the president's stance on corruption.

For more insight into the ACDP's concerns, Elvis Presslin spoke to ACDP Deputy President, Wayne Thring
Former President Jacob Zuma's daughter Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla appeared in court today for allegedly inciting violence during the July 2021 riots. In this interview, forensic investigator Paul O'Sullivan, who laid a charge against her in 2021 - and provided the police and the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) with forensic downloads of her Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook accounts - outlines the case against her. “Now, I could be wrong, but I think this will probably be the first time on the planet, not just in South Africa, where a person is charged with inciting others to terrorism based on social media.” Describing her as “prime evil” and a “psychopath”, O'Sullivan charges: “She wants to see this country fail. And if she's left to her own devices, the country would fail.” He also addresses a defamatory Tweet she made about him in which she accused him of involvement in the Phala Phala case. Meanwhile, her advocate, Dali Mpofu, says they plan to bring a case of malicious prosecution against the State because she believes that this case against her is aimed at settling political scores with her father.

In this regular Sunday Show with BizNews, Neil de Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM), delves into the “deeper plan” of former President Jacob Zuma's MKP that have hit the campaign trail “like it is three months before elections”, and says: “…this party is undoubtedly hungry, obsessive…very well funded and without a doubt filled with strategy.” He warns that a “strategic takeover” of government “is becoming more and more of a reality and I fear our opposition is not geared…” De Beer talks about South Africa's own Watergate: Ramagate - the ongoing Phala Phala saga of President Cyril's Ramaphosa's dollar-stuffed couch. He expresses concern that undeclared foreign funding of political parties makes South Africa “the badminton ball between all foreign states”. De Beer also describes how Electricity Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa's push for renewable energy projects mirrors the strategies advocated by former ESKOM CEO André de Ruyter. Furthermore, he gives his take on the Vodacom-Remgro merger controversy and the DTIC minister's unusual appeal against the Competition Tribunal's rejection of it. In another bit of good news, he outlines how the Government of National Unity (GNU) is forcing African National Congress (ANC) Ministers to become more responsive to the needs of their constituents.

Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) supporters are expected to march through the streets of Johannesburg this morning as the Constitutional Court is expected to hear the party's case on the Phala Phala scandal.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Advocate Kameel Premhid, who is representing the EFF, has argued in the Constitutional Court that Parliament acted unlawfully and irrationally when it voted not to enforce an independent panel's recommendation that President Cyril Ramaphosa should face an impeachment investigation over the 2020 break-in at his Phala Phala farm. The Constitutional Court is hearing the EFF's application against the Speaker of the National Assembly over the Section 89 panel report. In 2022, the National Assembly rejected a motion to refer the report to an impeachment committee. This report, compiled by an independent panel led by former Chief Justice, Sandile Ngcobo, investigated allegations against President Cyril Ramaphosa after a large sum in foreign currency was stolen from his Phala Phala farm in Limpopo. The report found that there was a prima facie case for which the President had to answer.
Die Konstitutionele Hof hoor vandag die EFF se hofaansoek aan oor die Phala Phala-saak. Die Parlement se Staande Komitee oor Finansies eis antwoorde oor watter stappe gedoen sal word teen werkgewers wat nié betalings aan werknemers se pensioenfondse maak nie. Die EFF-leier, Julius Malema, sê gerugte dat die senior partylid, Mbuyeseni Ndlozi, van die EFF se opkomende kieskonferensie verban is, is net skinderstories. Israel se ambassadeur by die Verenigde Nasies bevestig dat 'n skietstaking tussen Israel en Libanon moontlik bereik kan word.
The Constitutional Court will today hear an application from the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) challenging the National Assembly's decision not to adopt the Independent Panel's Report on the Phala Phala scandal. The EFF argues that the decision was irrational and unlawful, violating constitutional provisions. The case follows the National Assembly's rejection of the Report in December 2022, with the ANC using its majority vote to block the referral to an impeachment inquiry.

Die MK-party se parlementêre leier, John Hlophe, het die Nasionale Vervolgingsgesag se besluit gekritiseer om niemand in die Phala Phala-aangeleentheid te vervolg nie. Die voormalige spioenbaas Arthur Fraser het 'n saak teen president Cyril Ramaphosa en die voormalige hoof van sy presidensiële beskermingseenheid, Wally Rhoode, geopen. Dit was oor die beweerde toesmeerdery van die diefstal van buitelandse valuta op die president se Limpopo-wildplaas in 2020. Hlophe sê die NVG se besluit bewys dat geregtigheid in Suid-Afrika net vir die elite beskore is:
The former Public Protector and now former EFF Member of Parliament, Advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane, says she will focus on spending more time with her family, following her resignation from the party. In a resignation letter that was addressed to party leader, Julius Malema, Mkhwebane explains how she felt that her rights were violated as soon as she became Public Protector of the country. She further says her removal from office was unconstitutional, adding that her ouster followed her investigation into the so-called CR17 donations and the Phala Phala report.

In this episode of the Sunday Show, Neil de Beer of the United Independent Movement, explains why President Cyril Ramaphosa should face private prosecution over Phala Phala, and why Democratic Alliance (DA) leader John Steenhuisen should step back from his Minister of Agriculture position to focus on the leadership of his party.

He further dissects the freshly-launched Constitution of former President Jacob Zuma's MK Party, hails the departure of impeached judge Dr John Hlophe from the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) - and pays tribute to the former Finance Minister Tito Mboweni who died suddenly at the age of 65.
The National Prosecuting Authority, NPA has declined to prosecute anyone in relation to the Phala Phala farm case, involving President Cyril Ramaphosa and Major General Wally Roode. Director of Public Prosecutions Ivy Thenga made the decision after assessing evidence from the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation, following a complaint by Arthur Fraser alleging money laundering and corruption. The case centered on a theft of around 580,000 dollars at Ramaphosa's Phala Phala Farm in Limpopo. Fraser's complaint accused Ramaphosa and Roode of wrongdoing, but Thenga found insufficient grounds for prosecution. For reaction Elvis Presslin spoke to Zama Ntshona Spokesperson of the African Transformation Movement, ATM

Die ATM beweer daar gaan beleidsverwarring wees in die regering van nasionale eenheid. Die leier, Vuyo Zungula, voer aan die eenheidsregering is nie beginselvas saamgestel nie. Zungula waarsku partye in die regering kan gedwing word om hul standpunt te verander oor beleide wat hulle voorheen teengestaan het, insluitend die Phala Phala-skandaal en die Nasionale Gesondheidsversekering:
Die MK-party beskou homself as die amptelike opposisie en beplan samewerking met die EFF en ATM. Die nuwe lid van die Parlement, John Hlophe, wat pas ingehuldig is, wys op die tandekryprobleme met die regering van nasionale eenheid en skryf dit toe aan verskillendes waardes van partye. Hlophe sê hy het nog geen besluit geneem oor of hulle ‘n voorstel sal steun om president Cyril Ramaphosa oor die Phala Phala-skandaal in ‘n staat van beskuldiging te plaas nie.

So the president has protection for 5 years on the issue of Phala Phala. The DA is literally helping secure his presidency for 5 years. One thing you and I need to remind ourselves constantly, is that the DA is no longer an opposition party. It's now in government. And whatever it does now going forward will be in the interest of this government that it's part of. “See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Die African Transformation Movement sê hy veroordeel die Suid-Afrikaanse Inkomstediens se rondvallery, selektiewe geregtigheid en toesmeerdery in president Cyril Ramaphosa se Phala Phala-plaasskandaal. Dit volg nadat die inkomstediens ʼn strafregtelike saak teen die Soedannese sakeman Hazim Mustafa aanhangig gemaak het. Hy het in Desember 2019 10,82 miljoen Suid-Afrikaanse rand kontant betaal vir 20 buffels van Ramaphosa se Phala Phala-plaas in Limpopo. Die geld is in 2020 op die plaas gesteel.

This week, former president Thabo Mbeki wrote an extraordinary 17-page letter to deputy president Paul Mashatile. In it, he essentially critiqued various shortcomings of the current ANC parliamentary caucus.In this edition of In The Ring With Eusebius McKaiser, I do several things: a) explain the essential point of the letter; b) explain the structure and logic of the letter in a bit more detail; and (most importantly perhaps) c) offer you political analysis of what is at play here, which may not be apparent if you merely focus on the Phala Phala and Eskom case studies that drive the overt argument in the 17-pager.
