Did Cyril dodge Phala Phala questions? See his full response here
President Cyril Ramaphosa has been accused of creating ‘Nkandla 2.0’ in Parliament this week, after he was accused of dodging questions about the Phala Phala farm scandal. However, his office has flat-out denied that this was the case.
John Steenhuisen was left dismayed by Ramaphosa’s response to a question about monies found at his Phala Phala property. In a written statement, the DA leader said the head of state was now ‘indistinguishable from Jacob Zuma’, in the way he treats the National Assembly.
The Presidency has hit back, though. They are adamant that Cyril Ramaphosa DID answer the question about his role in the controversy – and even went as far as to publish the entire transcript from his response. So, is this a satisfactory reply, or merely ‘word soup’?
