“This constitution was designed to protect the elite and ensure the continued exploitation of our resources,” he said. He argued that a return to parliamentary sovereignty was essential for enacting laws that genuinely reflected the public’s will and restored dignity through land reform and the empowerment of traditional leaders.
“The land issue remains unresolved. Without decisive action, the wounds of the past will never heal.” Hlophe also took the opportunity to take a swipe at the National Prosecuting Authority for its decision not to prosecute President Cyril Ramaphosa in connection with the Phala Phala farm scandal, which involved the theft of large sums of foreign currency from the private farm.
The case highlighted a systemic bias in the justice system that protects powerful figures at the expense of ordinary citizens.The NPA has denied any political interference, stating that its decision not to prosecute was based on insufficient evidence to bring charges against the president.
