Ramaphosa must come back to answer questions – Mapisa-Nqakula
National Assembly Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula says she will write a letter to the Office of the President to request Cyril Ramaphosa return to the National Assembly.
Mapisa-Nqakula addressed the Programme Committee in Parliament on Thursday.
The letter follows Tuesday's unfinished question and answers session with the president, where the issue of the theft of a large amount of foreign currency at his Phala Phala farm in 2020 took centre stage.
In June, former spy boss Arthur Fraser opened a criminal complaint against Ramaphosa, accusing him of kidnapping, bribery, money laundering, and concealing a crime following the theft of a large amount of foreign currency from his private property two years ago.

Mapisa-Nqakula told the chief whips she will convene a meeting with ANC chief whip in the National Assembly Pemmy Majodina and leader of government business Deputy president David Mabuza in an attempt to hold Ramaphosa accountable.
"I am going to write a letter to the president to request date so that we can finish and complete this business. As you are aware that I cannot make a determination on the availability of the president.
"I am not the one who runs his diary, so I will just write to the president and expect him to respond and advise us on a date of his availability."
The sitting on Tuesday saw EFF MPs being kicked out of the session by parliamentary protection officers.
