PHALA PHALA

- LOYISO SIDIMBA

ANOTHER attempt to prosecute President Cyril Ramaphosa over the theft of $580000 in cash from his Phala Phala farm has failed and proved costly for the Society of the Protection of Our Constitution.

The society had summoned Ramaphosa to appear before the Pretoria Magistrate's Court in terms of the Criminal Procedure Act (CPA).

The organisation had sought an order compelling the Director of Public Prosecutions, Sibongile Mzinyathi, and National Director of Public Prosecutions Shamila Batohi to secure Ramaphosa’s attendance at the Pretoria Magistrate's Court by way of summons as contemplated in the CPA on charges relating to the theft.

The society's case against the president was withdrawn in July 2023, as he believed that the application was not competent.
