CR17 leaks based on sinister agenda, says Ramaphosa

Answering questions in the National Assembly, Ramaphosa told the house it would be unreasonable and potentially prejudicial for him to have to disclose details of his CR17 campaign funding until such time as all parties were held to the same standards of transparency.

Ramaphosa blamed the leaks about his campaign funding on a sinister agenda and said, for this reason, a conversation should be had about whether this should also be regulated in the interests of transparency. On Bosasa, Ramaphosa told DA leader Mmusi Maimane there was no need for a new commission of inquiry into corruption allegations against the company when they were already the subject of the Zondo inquiry into state capture.

Asked whether the appointment to his executive of two ministers and two deputy ministers was because they had helped get him elected as ANC president, Ramaphosa said “honourable Maimane, the answer is no. I don’t operate like that.”The president said there was a need for a national discussion on prescribed assets and compelling state fund managers to bail out struggling state entities .
