The three-member panel investigating whether there is a need to further probe Phala Phala claims started its 30-day schedule on Wednesday.
The ATM had asked parliamentary speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula to establish a section 89 inquiry into the theft of cash from Ramaphosa’s Phala Phala farm. Zungula alleged Ramaphosa has used intimidation tactics to scare those investigating the affair.
Holomisa outlined what his party would like the panel to focus on and said Ramaphosa has been a disappointment.
The leaders said 30 days was too long for the investigation.
The panellists are retired chief justice Sandile Ngcobo, retired high court judge Thokozile Masipa and advocate Mahlape Sello. If they find there is a need for further investigation, Mapisa-Nqakula said an ad hoc committee would be established.
