ActionSA vows not to let Phala Phala matter go without prosecution
ActionSA in Parliament has vowed not to let the Phala Phala matter go, without a formal prosecution taking place. The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) last week announced that it is not going to prosecute anyone over the Phala Phala case, stemming from the criminal complaint laid by the former head of the State Security Agency, Arthur Fraser, in 2022.
ActionSA leader in Parliament Athol Trollip says the matter has to be ventilated through the criminal justice process.
“As for Phala Phala, it is not going to be switched under the couch. The NPA might believe that there is no prima facie case, but we believe there is a prima facie case. For example, if you and I we were found with 580 000 dollars in our house, in a couch, we will have to answer to the court of law because that is a criminal offence in itself,” adds Trollip.
“Where the money came from, that’s another matter. Where the money went to, that’s another matter. How do they try to follow and get that money back, that’s another matter. The fact of the matter is that there is a contravention of the foreign exchange act in this country and the President [Cyril Ramaphosa] must come and account. Simple as that,” he explains.
