Dirks wants Ramaphosa to appear before the chair of Scopa to disclose what he knows about the misuse of public funds for party political activities

The ANC has suspended controversial MP Mervyn Dirks over his call for President Cyril Ramaphosa to account in parliament, for utterances he allegedly made in a leaked audio clip about the misuse of public funds for internal party leadership campaigns in 2017.nformed Dirks of his precautionary suspension and the intention to institute disciplinary proceedings on Thursday.

“This further serves to notify you of the intention of the office of the chief whip to place you on precautionary suspension with immediate effect for the necessary investigations to take place,” it further reads. Dirks will also be removed from the ANC caucus’s WhatsApp groups and he has been “specifically” prohibited from engaging on any media platform “in any way whatsoever regarding this matter”.

In the recording Ramaphosa can be heard saying: “One of the officials said as these people from the State Security [Agency] testify [at the state capture commission], one of the officials said soon they will be revealing about how money was used for some campaigns, and I said I would rather they say you got money from this business for CR17 than for the public to finally hear that their public money was used to advance certain campaigns.

“Furthermore, the president appeared before the Zondo commission under oath and withheld this damning information. Does this amount to perjury? The admission by the president of his knowledge of corruption and his refusal to divulge it will definitely make the final state capture report questionable and render it as not worth the paper it is written on,” said Dirks.
