He said the allegations were intimidation and bullying tactics. President Cyril Ramaphosa again dismissed allegations made against him by former spy boss Arthur Fraser.Ramaphosa delivered the ANC's message of support at the SACP national congress at the Birchwood Hotel and OR Tambo Conference Centre in Ekurhuleni.
"Just over a month ago, there was a complaint that was laid against me at the SA Police Service, a complaint that related to a theft that was committed at my farm in February 2020. "The allegations are serious, and it is only correct that they be thoroughly investigated and that the due legal process is allowed to take its course, without interference."
The president said at the heart of the allegations were attempts to deter him from overseeing the ANC renewal project, which he has been championing. "As we are emerging from the era of state capture, we must be firm on the principle that no person, not a single person, is above the law and that everyone, regardless of the position that they occupy, must be held accountable for their actions.
"I am prepared to be held accountable, and I also have, of my own volition, committed to presenting myself before the State Capture Commission. We were meant to meet a week ago, but the date did not suit everyone, and I will go and present myself," said Ramaphosa.
