ANC NEC: Ramaphosa offers to subject himself to integrity committee | News24

President Cyril Ramaphosa has approached the ANC's integrity committee to account for the controversy around the CR17 campaign.

In a move that seemingly disarmed his most vocal opponents, President Cyril Ramaphosa has told the ANC's national executive committee he had approached the integrity committee to account for his CR17 campaign. Sources in the meeting said this set the tone for the meeting and was consistent with the president's push that all those who are charged with corruption should step down.The president said he wants to appear before them and that everyone who has something over their head must go and present their case. This puts an end all the sideshows.Ramaphosa's move to deal with corruption in the party was met with resistance from his opponents who pointed at his CR17 campaign.

He did not pull any punches in the now widely circulated letter, saying unless Ramaphosa and the NEC came clean on how he was elected, his letters would be"construed as your attempts to appease those who, by their ill-gotten riches, catapulted you into the position you hold in our movement".
