<\/p>\n

The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) could be in the firing in Parliament over its report on Phala Phala, which has left many parties seething. <\/p>\n

The SARB is expected to appear before the standing committee on finance at the end of August.<\/p>\n

But political parties have already accused the SARB of shielding President Cyril Ramaphosa with what they call a \u2018whitewash report\u2019.<\/p>\n

The African National Congress (ANC) has, however, come out in defence of the report saying the reserve bank has done a thorough investigation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe determination by the South African Reserve Bank that president Cyril Ramaphosa did not violate any Exchange Control Regulations is unambiguous and definitive,\u201d ANC national spokesperson Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ANC expresses its satisfaction with this conclusion and anticipates that all baseless accusations will be dispelled.\u201d <\/p>\n

But other political parties said the reserve bank\u2019s report contradicts what the South African Revenue Service said about the $580,000 stolen at Ramaphosa\u2019s farm in Phala Phala in February.<\/p>\n

The ATM said both Ramaphosa and Sars had confirmed that there was foreign currency on his farm.<\/p>\n

Dion George of the Democratic Alliance said he will also be sending questions to SARB Governor Lesetja Kganyago on this matter.<\/p>\n

But questions are expected to come during the meeting of the SARB and the Prudential Authority with members of the standing committee on finance in the National Assembly.<\/p>\n

The reserve bank was investigating the Phala Phala matter for more than a year.<\/p>\n

Political parties have said the report was a cover up and questioned SARB\u2019s decision not to make it public.<\/p>\n
