ActionSA says it will on Friday release what it describes as internal South African Police Service (SAPS) documents that allegedly point to a deliberate cover-up in the handling of the Phala Phala investigation.
The party claims the records reveal efforts to shield members of the Presidential Protection Unit from accountability over alleged unlawful conduct linked to the 2020 robbery at President Cyril Ramaphosa's Phala Phala farm.
ActionSA National Chairperson Michael Beaumont and Member of Parliament Lerato Ngobeni are expected to address a media briefing in Rosebank, Johannesburg, where they will present the documents.
Beaumont said the party believes the records raise serious questions about the internal handling of the matter by SAPS.
He said the Public Protector had previously found that members of the Presidential Protection Unit acted outside the law during their investigation into the Phala Phala robbery and subsequently directed the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) to investigate the matter.
According to Beaumont, IPID completed its investigation, but the report was classified as top secret and withheld from the public until ActionSA successfully challenged its classification through legal action.
He said the report, which was made public in April this year, identified approximately 13 alleged breaches of SAPS regulations by members of the Presidential Protection Unit.
Beaumont further claimed that responses to parliamentary questions submitted by ActionSA revealed that, despite the findings of both the Public Protector and IPID, the officers concerned were acquitted during an internal SAPS disciplinary process.
ActionSA says Friday's briefing will provide further details on the documents and the party's response to what it alleges was a failure to hold those implicated accountable.
