DA leader John Steenhuisen wants Public Protector Kholeka Gcaleka to investigate President Cyril Ramaphosa, claiming the ruling party wants to use taxpayer money to help it win votes.
In a statement on Sunday, Steenhuisen said his party would provide new evidence to support its claims that the ANC was abusing state funds for its own gain.
