President Cyril Ramaphosa returns to Parliament today, where he will be confronted with the Phala Phala farm money theft scandal.

However, the South African presidency says in a statement that Ramaphosa will address the government's actions to alleviate hunger and malnutrition, especially of needy children.

The South African statesman should also talk about efforts to combat sabotage and economic crimes.

The energy crisis will also receive the attention of Cyril Ramaphosa, who will detail about the addition of two power generation units to the national grid.

The statement issued by Pretoria and quoted by Radio Mozambique, adds that Ramaphosa will share, with parliamentarians, the work underway for the submission of the government's position on the recommendations of the commission of inquiry into state capture.

But it is almost certain that the issue about the theft of money at Phala Phala's farm will dominate Ramaphosa's presence in Parliament.

Already on Tuesday, the African National Congress blocked the initiative of the Democratic Alliance, which advocates that Parliament should conduct its own investigation into the case.

The ANC accuses the Democratic Alliance of wanting to pre-empt the ongoing investigations.

On the other hand, the African National Congress says that the creation of an ad hoc commission, to investigate the case, will create a constitutional crisis.

Meanwhile, South African Parliament Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula has appointed lawyer Mahlape Sello to replace Professor Richard Calland on the independent panel that will investigate President Ramaphosa.

Mahlpe Sello recently served on the commission that investigated state capture during the reign of Jacob Zuma.

Professor Calland has resigned from the panel after being accused of being a pro-Ramaphosa. In a statement, Calland denied the charges and says he stepped down from the panel to protect the integrity of the process.

The panel has one month to determine whether or not there is evidence for the initiation of the process to remove Cyril Ramaphosa as president.

Ramaphosa is accused of concealing the theft of large sums of money, in foreign currency, and of buying the robbers' silence.
