The African Transformation Movement says it hopes the report into the Phala Phala matter paves the way for future investigations into the president's handling of the robbery on his Limpopo farm.
An independent parliamentary panel -- chaired by former chief justice Sandile Ngcobo -- is set to hand over its report to the National Assembly speaker on Wednesday, which will later be made public.
The Section 89 panel was established to investigate whether there is evidence that President Cyril Ramaphosa violated his oath of office.
Former spy boss Arthur Fraser opened a kidnapping and money laundering case against Ramaphosa, accusing him of attempting to conceal the heist in 2020 when millions of dollars were allegedly stolen.
The president has denied wrongdoing.

The ATM, which laid the original complaint, says it hopes the report vindicates them.
"As ATM we are also calling for the release of the report for public consumption so that Parliament can be spared of being the accomplice to this major cover-up," says spokesperson Zama Ntshona.
"We are also hoping that this particular panel has made use of the mountain of evidence which was given to it by the ATM so as to come to one conclusion and that's Ramaphosa has a case to answer."
