Mpofu tells court not to allow Ramaphosa to avoid accountability
Mpofu told the court that the President has a case to answer on the Phala Phala theft.
Advocate Dali Mpofu, a lawyer from the uMkhonto weSizwe Party, argues before the Western Cape High Court that President Cyril Ramaphosa cannot avoid responsibility for his actions. He contends that the President has evidence to face regarding the Phala Phala theft and believes the review process is merely a tactic to evade accountability.
Mpofu, representing the MKP, opposes the Section 89 Independent Panel report filed by Ramaphosa. This report suggested that there may be serious violations of his oath of office. Mpofu insists that the President must be questioned: "Where did the dollars come from? Who sent Rhoode to Namibia, to no man's land? Who tortured those workers?
What happened to General Mfazi? Who poisoned him? What happened to Mr Ndlovu, Mr Hazim, who arrived here in 2019 on Christmas carrying dollars, knowing exactly how many buffaloes he needed and how much they cost?"
