Acting Public Protector Advocate Kholeka Gcaleka has adamantly asserted that President Cyril Ramaphosa is innocent of any wrongdoing in the Phala Phala scandal. However, the report by the Public Protector has been met with mixed reactions, with some opposition parties expressing outrage and calling it a whitewash. Others have welcomed the report, while some have questioned its findings.
Gcaleka announced last week that her office’s investigation had cleared President Ramaphosa on several issues, including undertaking paid work. She stated that this was a complete probe that left no stone unturned. The report has been criticized by some opposition parties, who have accused the Public Protector of being biased in favor of the president. They have also questioned the findings of the report, which they say do not provide a clear picture of what happened at Phala Phala.
The report has also been welcomed by some, who say that it provides much-needed clarity on the matter. They believe that the report will help to restore public confidence in the president. The report is now being considered by the courts, and it remains to be seen whether it will be upheld. However, it is clear that the report has sparked a great deal of debate, and it is likely to continue to be a source of controversy for some time to come.
In addition to the issues mentioned above, the report also investigated whether President Ramaphosa had violated the Executive Ethics Code by failing to report the theft of the money to the police. The report found that there was no evidence to suggest that President Ramaphosa had violated the code.
However, the report did find that Major-General Wally Rhoode, the head of the Presidential Protection Unit, had exhibited improper conduct by investigating the theft of the money without the approval of the police. Rhoode has since been suspended from his position.
The report has been met with mixed reactions from the public. Some people have welcomed the report, while others have criticized it. It remains to be seen whether the report will have any lasting impact on President Ramaphosa’s presidency.
