The DA claims Bongo is interfering in the inquiry into corruption at state-owned enterprises.

The DA laid the charge after Bongo was accused of trying to bribe evidence leader, advocate Ntuthuzelo Vanara.

The party says the conduct goes against the Prevention and Combatting of Corrupt Activities Act.

It says parliament should have acted after receiving the affidavit from Vanara.

According to John Steenhuisen, DA Member of Parliament (MP).
