Kgalema Motlanthe: Cyril Ramaphosa may be hiding something over Phala Phala

Former President Kgalema Motlanthe said President Cyril Ramaphosa “may be hiding something” through his delays in responding to the controversial robbery at his Phala Phala game farm in 2020.

Mothlanthe made the remarks during an interview with Newzroom Afrika’s politics editor Lukhanyo Calata.

The former president said it “would not work for an explanation to be given and then for the offence to be swept under the carpet.”

“So the fact that Parliament is seized with this matter, the Hawks are investigating, Public Protectors office says that the truth shall out at some point or other.

“The delay in getting to that point does communicate a message that he’s got a case to answer or he’s got something to hide. That’s the inference from the delay. So ideally, the clarification should have happened much, much, much earlier,” Motlanthe said.
