Opposition parties believe the president breached anti-corruption laws with the Phala Phala farm saga.

Kieswetter has reiterated that SARS will not give Ramaphosa special treatment.

"We appreciate that the President gave us consent," said Kieswetter.

"It would be great and encourage other political and civil leaders for transparency's sake to reveal their status."
