The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF)'s Vuyani Pambo says President Cyril Ramaphosa must be arrested for the Phala Phala scandal.

Pambo is among EFF members who were marching to the Constitutional Court on Tuesday, where the party is battling it out with the president's legal team.

Dozens of EFF supporters gathered in Newtown to march to the Constitutional Court in Braamfontein under the watch of Johannesburg metro police, Gauteng crime prevention wardens, and EFF marshalls.

Pambo said they want to see Ramaphosa behind bars.

"Ramaphosa must go to jail. We must have this Phala Phala matter brought back to the table. How are we going to have people respecting the law if the number one citizen does not respect the law?"

Meanwhile, EFF leader Julius Malema said the party would ensure President Cyril Ramaphosa accounts for his Phala Phala monies.

Addressing the red berets ahead of the march, Malema said the EFF would do all it can to have Ramaphosa declared a criminal.

"The ANC [African National Congress] abused its majority in Parliament to defend their corrupt president. We will fight in Parliament. We will fight on the picket lines and we will fight to defend the constitution of the Republic of South Africa."
