Ramaphosa not off the hook on Phala Phala, says ANC RET faction: Ramaphosa's opponents have vowed to continue their bid to oust him while tackling him over Phala Phala after conference, whether he wins or not.
This despite ANC NEC clearing the president and instructing party MPs to vote against motion for impeachment inquiryANC president Cyril Ramaphosa survived a heated NEC meeting this week. File photoThey may have been defeated by his supporters at the ANC NEC’s meeting on Monday over Phala Phala, but President Cyril Ramaphosa’s detractors in the party say the matter will continue to “hurt” the governing party.
"The focus now is on the upcoming conference, an election where we are working on making sure he doesn't come back as a leader, Phala Phala we will deal with after the conference," an NEC insider said. The ANC NEC has resolved that all of the party's 230 MPs, including those who are known to not support him, should vote against the establishment of an impeachment inquiry.
"The report was based on limited information, but that seeks to say he must be impeached despite the panel conceding that they do not have the whole picture, it’s possible that if they had all the facts they would have come at a different conclusion," the NWC member said. One senior NEC member said: “Gwede and Paul cut off more than 10 speakers, closed the meeting and suppressed objections and caused chaos.”
Those in Ramaphosa’s camp said complaining after a resolution has been taken because “the principle of democratic centralism says once a decision is taken, it binds all of us, including those who did not agree with it”.
