The only person committed to investigating Phala Phala was "removed from the system," former Public Protector, now EFF MP, Busisiwe Mkhwebane has charged.

Deputy President Paul Mashatile was answering questions in the National Assembly on Thursday afternoon, and the final question of the day came the way of Mkhwebane.

"It's very disappointing that, to combat crime, including corruption money laundering, there are instances like the Phala Phala farm scandal, involving concealed cash and potential tax evasion, the South African Reserve Bank, SARS, and the Public Protector have all found in favour of the president."
