President Cyril Ramaphosa says he will uphold the integrity of his office and dismissed opposition criticism over the Phala Phala scandal as "political theatre or electoral posturing".

President Cyril Ramaphosa has responded to his detractors by what he called "political theatre or electoral posturing" after opposition parties criticised him on Tuesday over the Phala Phala scandal.

Ramaphosa made the remarks on Wednesday afternoon while responding to Tuesday's robust parliamentary debate on the Presidency's budget vote.

During the session, opposition parties criticised Ramaphosa's presidency for failing to address the country's challenges, including the high unemployment rate, poor service delivery, inadequate sanitation, rampant corruption and crime.

MPs repeatedly demanded that Ramaphosa address the Phala Phala farm robbery, in which a significant amount of foreign currency was stolen from his farm.
