The Citizen|October 12, 2024
The National Prosecuting Authority's (NPA) decision not to prosecute President Cyril Ramaphosa, or anyone else in the Phala Phala scandal, has sparked outrage across the political spectrum.

Several political parties expressed concerns about accountability and transparency.

The NPA announced on Thursday that there was insufficient evidence to pursue charges related to allegations of money laundering involving $580 000 (about R10 million) and concealment of a robbery that took place at Ramaphosa's game farm in 2020.

The investigation was conducted by the Hawks.

DA leader John Steenhuisen said yesterday the party would seek clarity from NPA on its reasons for not prosecuting.

"The discussion within the party is that the NPA will be summoned by our members on the justice portfolio committee in parliament to explain their decision," Steenhuisen said.
