Thabo Mbeki has suggested that the ANC used its majority in Parliament to vote against any investigations into the Phala Phala saga because it suspects that President Cyril Ramaphosa has done something wrong, and it wants to protect him 'at all costs'.
Thabo Mbeki has questioned why the ANC has consistently blocked any parliamentary investigation into the Phala Phala saga.The former president warned that the actions of the ANC would alienate people from the party.
The former statesman said the ANC had to be honest with itself. In the scathing letter, Mbeki asked why the ANC in Parliament had blocked any investigation into the Phala Phala saga, which he likened to the"Nkandla matter" involving former president Jacob Zuma. "I would assume that as ANC members we would assume that our president would not do and has not done anything impeachable," Mbeki wrote.
He further questioned why the ANC used its majority in Parliament again last week to vote against the formation of an ad hoc committee to investigate the same matter in a motion brought by the DA.I would presume that as ANC members we would assume that our president would not do and has not done anything which Parliament should not investigate in the course of the discharge of its constitutional duties.
