He must stay,\u201d said the 56-year-old owner of a car repair shop in Soweto\u2019s Chiawelo area.<\/p>\n<p>A report published last week accused Ramaphosa of abuse of power after the theft two years ago that he failed to properly report to authorities, triggering the biggest crisis yet for his five-year presidency.<\/p>\n<p>After considering resignation, Ramaphosa is now taking legal action to overturn the report that said he may have broken the law and cast doubt on his explanation that the cash came from a sale of buffalo to a Sudanese businessman.<\/p>\n<p>Twala blames the scandal on a backlash in the ruling African National Congress party over the battle Ramaphosa has fought against corruption since he replaced Jacob Zuma. \u201cThey want to remove him because they know he is fighting them,\u201d he said. The president may have had $580,000 in cash stuffed inside a sofa on his Phala Phala reserve, but Twala said: \u201cit is his own money.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His words reflect grassroots support for Ramaphosa and offer one reason why the president won the backing of the ANC ahead of a crucial vote on impeachment, next week\u2019s contest for party leader and 2024 elections the party is in danger of losing.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts said that the ANC fears losing its biggest electoral asset and a consensus-builder in a party riven by schism.<\/p>\n<p>As a one-time prot\u00e9g\u00e9 of Mandela, Ramaphosa is \u201cthe last of the figures that could unite the ANC\u201d, and none of his likeliest successors would have the immediate clout to keep the ANC\u2019s factions together, said William Gumede, executive chair of Democracy Works, a civic foundation.<\/p>\n<p>Please use the sharing tools found via the share button at the top or side of articles.

A former health minister, he is under investigation over allegations that his family benefited from a coronavirus-era PR contract. He denies wrongdoing.<\/p>\n<p>Paul Mashatile, the ANC\u2019s treasurer general who is widely tipped as a future president, can still run for deputy president and emerge as a frontrunner if Ramaphosa is forced to quit later.<\/p>\n<p>Please use the sharing tools found via the share button at the top or side of articles.

South Africa has tight exchange controls that require the swift disclosure of foreign currency and there are questions over the source of the stolen money.<\/p>\n<p>Hazim Mustafa, the Sudanese buyer of the buffalo, told Sky News this week that he declared the cash, a sum that he said was \u201cnothing for a businessman like me\u201d, at Johannesburg\u2019s airport in 2019. He declined to present any evidence, while confirming he is expecting a refund on the cattle, which were never delivered.<\/p>\n<p>Last week\u2019s report concluded that an ongoing investigation by the South African Reserve Bank \u201csuggests strongly that it had no records of this money entering this country or being reported as having been received\u201d by Ramaphosa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBased on the panel report, [the South African Reserve Bank] are going to have to fine him,\u201d said Peter Attard Montalto, head of capital markets research at consultants Intellidex. \u201cThe SARB never gives permission to hold that size of dollar cash onshore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFundamentally, his story still does not add up, and we should not lose sight of that.\u201d Further findings over Phala Phala could\u00a0reignite the pressure. \u201cThat is the risk, and it is deeply unpredictable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ramaphosa\u2019s prevarication \u2014 at one stage, he had drafted a resignation, later only for his allies to convince him to pursue the matter in the courts \u2014 could yet cost him dearly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe man went Awol for four days\u2009.\u2009.\u2009.\u2009we are leaderless,\u201d Julius Malema, a former ANC politician and leader of the leftist Economic Freedom Fighters party, said this week. He also predicted that Ramaphosa has only gained a brief reprieve: \u201cOnce such a vacuum arises, we are going to be led by thugs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chiawelo is a natural heartland for Ramaphosa, who rose from humble beginnings as a policeman\u2019s son through the ANC\u2019s ranks, and then built his business as the economy opened up after apartheid.<\/p>\n<p>Please use the sharing tools found via the share button at the top or side of articles.
