ANC NEC says it will support Ramaphosa by rejecting the section 89 independent panel’s report.

The Nasrec conference centre south of Johannesburg was a hive of activity on Monday as the party’s highest decision-making body between conferences met.

At the national executive committee meeting the centre of discussion was the section 89 parliamentary panel report on Phala Phala, which found that party president Cyril Ramaphosa has a case to answer in relation to the theft of dollars at his farm in Limpopo.

Ramaphosa delivered his political overview before being asked to recuse himself barely an hour into the meeting to allow members to express themselves freely in his absence.
