“Bring Out the Money You Are Hiding Under the Couch, It Belongs to the People”: Jacob Zuma Takes Aim at Ramaphosa Over Phala Phala Controversy and Demands Answers
MK Party leader and former President Jacob Zuma has once again targeted President Cyril Ramaphosa, calling on him to explain the money allegedly hidden under a couch at his Phala Phala farm.
Speaking during a recent address, Zuma claimed that the money should not have been hidden and argued that it ultimately belongs to the people of South Africa. He accused Ramaphosa of failing to provide satisfactory answers regarding the controversy and said citizens deserve full transparency from those entrusted with leading the country.
Zuma further argued that millions of South Africans continue to face poverty, unemployment and economic hardship while questions remain over the cash discovered at the farm. He said public officials must be held accountable and should not be treated differently from ordinary citizens.
The remarks have reignited debate around the Phala Phala saga, with supporters of the MK Party saying the issue should remain in the public spotlight. Meanwhile, Ramaphosa’s supporters have maintained that the matter has been subjected to official investigations and legal processes.
The latest comments add to the growing political tensions between the ANC and MK Party as both parties continue to battle for support ahead of future political contests.
