DA leader John Steenhuisen says just because they are in the GNU it doesn't mean accountability comes to an end over the Phala Phala saga.
didn’t form part of the negotiations of the Government of National Unity with the African National Congress .and SA Reserve Bank clearing president Cyril Ramaphosa of any wrongdoing for the alleged crimes committed at his game farm in Limpopo.In June 2022, former spy boss Arthur Fraser laid criminal charges against Ramaphosa, claiming that he concealed the theft of R62 million that had been kept on his farm in Phala Phala, Limpopo two years before.
As previously reported, Sudanese businessman Hazim Mustafa confirmed that he purchased the animals in cash over the festive period in 2019. He told Sky News that he was in Limpopo to celebrate Christmas and his wife’s birthday and brought the cash through the airport because “$580 000 is nothing for a businessman like .”
, Steenhuisen said the Phala Phala matter did not feature in the negotiations with the ANC to form the GNU.“We believe that the law must follow its course. If there’s anybody involved in criminal activities or suspicious activities they must investigated by the relevant authorities and there must be consequences for that. It doesn’t matter if it’s me, or somebody in the ANC, IFP or any of the parties that are signatories to the GNU.
In addition, Steenhuisen said there is a court challenge over the Phala Phala matter at the moment and it must reach its logical conclusion, thereafter, as Parliament they would be in a better position to decide how to go forward.
