Party leader Julius Malema's speaking at a press conference on Thursday.


Ramaphosa has had charges laid against him by former spy boss Arthur Fraser in connection with the theft of foreign currency at his farm in Limpopo.


Fraser has accused him of covering up the February 2020 incident by not reporting it to police.


He claims Ramaphosa instead sent people to hunt down the culprits and interrogate them.

The President has denied any wrongdoing.


Malema says they'll also approach the courts to compel SARS, the South African Reserve Bank and the Financial Intelligence Centre, to hold Ramaphosa accountable.


"The courts of South Africa to compel parliament to conduct a thorough and transparent investigation of all the crimes committed by Cyril Ramaphosa with the aim of building a solid case of an impeachment.


"The EFF will approach all political parties in parliament, including the ANC to engage on a motion of no confidence against Cyril Ramaphosa as a president of South Africa."
