Malema revives calls for Ramaphosa's impeachment over Phala Phala

ECONOMIC Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema has revived calls for President Cyril Ramaphosa to be impeached, telling supporters that Parliament must revive the Phala Phala report and force the president to answer for the scandal.

Malema made the demand after leading a march from Mary Fitzgerald Square in Newtown through Johannesburg to the Constitutional Court. The party was marching to demand the immediate release of the long-delayed judgment in the Phala Phala case.

Malema accused Ramaphosa of breaking the country's laws by keeping US dollars in South Africa instead of using the rand. He said the president's explanation that he hid the money in a sofa because the safe was "not safe" did not make sense.
