SABC NEWS reported that mining and business mogul Patrice Motsepe has weighed in on the Phala Phala Farm saga.

Motsepe who is also the CAF President said it is good that politicians, business people and other influential people are being scrutinised by both the media and the public as all must be held accountable.

He dismissed that his proximity to South African President Cyril Ramaphosa leads to him accessing opportunities in government.

Motsepe’s relationship with the president came under scrutiny after Arthur Fraser accused Ramaphosa of concealing a robbery that took place at the Phala Phala Farm in Limpopo.
