“The ANC caucus of parliament’s portfolio committee on police has called on President Cyril Ramaphosa to act against national police commissioner General Fannie Masemola following his appearance in court.”
SINGLE SOURCE
Only one specific web search result ('ANC members in parliament call on Ramaphosa to act against...') explicitly confirms that the ANC caucus of the portfolio committee on police called on the President to act against General Masemola. Other results discuss Ramaphosa generally or other factions calling for his resignation, but do not corroborate this specific request from the police portfolio committee.
