JOHANNESBURG — President Cyril Ramaphosa has said he will let the ANC trials take their course if he is formally charged with a crime following the robbery scene at his Limpopo farm.
Ramaphosa spoke to the media on Friday and answered questions about his intention to resign if indicted.
It comes amid widespread criticism of a robbery at his Phala Phala farm in Limpopo, in which an undisclosed sum of money was stolen.
He was criticized for not going public with the theft, and a number of questions were raised about what exactly happened and how much money was involved.
The controversial story has also dragged Namibian President Hage Geingob who has faced pressure from opposition in his country to disclose all interactions with Ramaphosa over the robbery incident.
According to reports, President Geingob was asked to hem locate the suspected criminals who broke into the Phala Phala farm.
Responding to question on whether he is ready to step aside as demanded by Julius Malema and opposition parties, President Ramaphosa said he is going step by step.
“I am a process person, the process has to happen, but I will say that if I am indicted, yes, the processes within the ruling party have to happen within the ANC.”
He disclosed that he has already made himself available to the ANC.
“As you know, I offered to go to the Integrity Commission myself on a voluntary basis. I’m going to see her, the date hasn’t been set yet.”
South African parliament speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula struggled to maintain control of the proceedings as members of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) were kicked out of the house after causing a disturbance.
“Cessation of household business. I cease household business now, and the whips will please consult,” she charged.
