President Cyril Ramaphosa made a statement regarding a report released by the Public Protector that found he had violated the executive ethics code. He said the report contained numerous factual inaccuracies and irrational findings that exceeded the scope of the Public Protector's powers. As a result, he has decided to seek urgent judicial review of the report and its findings to allow the courts to make an impartial determination. He emphasized that no person, including the President, is above the law and that both he and the Public Protector are bound by the Constitution.
