hilalem opposes, says he's not trying to avoid accountability for scandal involving his farm and oppose. it has been answering questions on a range of issues from members of parliament. he's been accused of covering up the theft of a large sum of foreign currency at the farm in february 2020. that he refused to comment on the matter exciting due process. it's illegal to hold large amounts of foreign cash in south africa. on the plaza has repeatedly pledged to root out corruption in the governing and see party. so i stand here and soon i'm opposed to not being unwilling to be accountable. want to be fully accountable. and i'm saying once again, that unlike them, it's important. and even those who are dealing with this metas, i've said poor to that, to me, given space and time to deal with all the aspects of this matter.

i'm at mila has more from dallas, but he may not necessarily be under any additional pressure compared to the last couple of months arm following the scandal being exposed. we know that parliamentarians have asked him similar questions before these questions have also been put him on public platforms and via the media and he's maintained that line is remain tight. lips saying that they should follow will. he will follow you process . he's willing to cooperate and that he's willing to deal with the necessary authorities on this matter. so not much as change from a poor. so at least the stance that he's taken. despite these questions coming up again and this time in a parliamentary session, where parliamentarians asked a number of questions around the pertinent issues in south africa, including the scandal. now what has begun is a parliamentary process to potentially investigate what happened at the president's

private game farm. and if potentially there would be reasons to impeach the president. that would be up to parliamentarians, a committee or commission that they would form to further investigate this particular issue. aside from that, there are also authorities who are busy with an investigation as well. so it may be some time before we have any other answers from the president, he maintains that he had done nothing wrong and he has got receipts. he's got a documentation to account for the money that was at his residence. and so not much less developed in terms of south africans learning anything more about what exactly happened. and many people, i suppose, waiting for that due process to be completed. shank, as president, has announced war tax hikes and sweeping reforms as the country tries to find a way out of the worst economic crisis since independence running away from a sing. it also says bailout talks with the international monetary fund. a nearly over said public anger over the crisis has gone down pretty so far,
