The African Transformation Movement (ATM) has claimed in court papers Public Protector Kholeka Gcaleka whitewashed the probe in President Cyril Ramaphosa’s couch dollars – and was lining herself up for her predecessor’s post.

In a replying affidavit filed at the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria on 3 July, the ATM wants the court to set aside the Public Protector report into the Phala Phala saga.

ATM president Vuyo Zungula told News24 that some of Gcaleka’s reasons for clearing Ramaphosa were “irrational and flawed”.
