“The CR17 campaign was a legitimate, forward-looking and necessary effort to promote the renewal of the governing party and the broader society and it was undertaken under difficult conditions,” he said.“Whatever work they did was in their individual capacity for internal party political party campaigning. Those who contributed to the campaign, whether as organisers, volunteers, service providers or donors, did so out of a genuine concern for the future of the country,” Ramaphosa said.
He conceded that the spat between himself and Mkhwebane did not augur well for democracy, but “we have found the findings of the public protector are challengeable in terms of the law and in fact”. Mkhwebane did not oppose Ramaphosa’s application. Under the terms of the order granted by the court, Ramaphosa’s challenge to Mkhwebane’s report will be heard on an “expedited basis”. The president says that it is crucial that the case is decided as soon as possible.
