President Cyril Ramaphosa has admitted meeting with the Guptas, but there was nothing sinister about it, according to his affidavit.

Johannesburg - President Cyril Ramaphosa has admitted meeting with the Guptas, but there was nothing sinister about it, according to his affidavit.

In his affidavit, Ramaphosa said he had met with the Guptas several times, but nothing extended beyond that. Several witnesses including former and current Cabinet Ministers, senior ANC figures and top government officials have implicated the family in wrongdoing. It was at this point that he raised the issue of the landing of their private jet at the Waterkloof airbase.

cdmela Who knows?

When you meet people who where currently conflicted,But where not conflicted then, You met them during the 5th admin by the leader then, Your voice never mattered. 6th admin was met with force by many, those currently fighting the CR17Are coming from the 5th admin. This not good

Mpho29404336 your holy saviour. People lost their jobs and reputation for meeting Guptas.

If Buffalo and Jamnandas don’t resign after this then the Zondo Commission must be canned period Pravin CyrilRamaphosa

It was not criminality to meet with Gupta's

That's what they all said. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Owya 😯

But when Zuma meets with th Guptas theres definitely something right?

Well he met them in public places. He never went to the compound...so why must he resign?!

Ramaphosa knew a lot and passed on the events to his WMC bosses

CyrilRamaphosa please tell me why do you do this? Are you going to resign?

The President doth protest too much 😂😂

Guys the only sin tht the Gupta family did was to try and play with the big boys to supply coal to Eskom of which their bid was good, am nt sure how the call these things but guy who i supplying charge R1000 a barral n the Gupta R440 of the same coal so Molefe took the cheaper

Headline should have been: 'SHOCKING REVELATION BY CYRIL OF MEETING THE GUPTAS.' But you guys are not shocked hey, and there is nothing sinister. 🚮

africaupdates Please dont say he is rotten too or SA is well and truly doomed.

Let Rama tell us his understanding of sinister

Lol sthule syabuka

Missfeliciam The only person who is not allowed to meet the Guptas is PresJGZuma , anyone else can and there is nothing wrong. Saphel 'isizwe somnyama

Cpatybabe Looks like the whole ANC met Guptas...

Till this time there is no evidence of any sin that Jacob Zuma did with the guptas none but still we call for his head when his deputy head of government does all is well!

Interesting times indeed. Noted takes: 'I have no personal recollection'

With others, the headline would have read '...has admitted meeting with the Guptas.' and not to go on like this

So this lying idiot was said to be cleaning corruption This man has more skeletons than Zuma!!

No off course not what’s so sinister about a nice plate of hot curry or breyani at the Saxon world shebeen I mean really now ........

Iheh 👀

themankhosi You forgot to say minimal times.😁😁😁

Ncncncncncnc The sooner President DD Mabiza kicks our this charlatan and assumes his rightful position, the better.

😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 They just discussed curry recipes, nothing more.

😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

Did anyone ever agreed to have met Guptas for sinister reasons? Sadly not even one can tell you he went to Saxonworld by force at gun point. All went there voluntarily, enjoyed the curry and probably took a doggy-bag

Deny, deny, didn't know, all the old Ramaphosa amnesia stories. He us a big bullsh*^/ter. It is going to bite him.

So with others there was something sinister

🙄 Mr President even if the media and your White supporters are trying and trying to take that Shovel off your Hands but unekani you keepOn diging that whole for youself Deeper and Deeper hai myekeleni they should accept that you r not Holier than thee but the Dangerous one.🙄

all SAn presidents met the Guptas so what? country's rule isn't against it

Man's just scored and own goal....I swear CR has had a shitty week 😂😂😂😂😂😂

VusiSambo Gupta is a swear word that is used against Zuma whilst even WMC angels PG and CR tasted the curry. What criteria is used to vilify those who associated with Guptas?

VusiSambo The Guotaa met almost everybody in Zuma's Cabinet. The issue is more about who have the leverage on State resources.

🤣 they was all togeda in that croock place called Lootuli house

Liar liar and another ANC liar forever

Ramaphosa is a white man trapped in a black man's body. ✍🏿

Almost all the ANC former and current leadership met with the Guptas just as they portrayed themselves as friends of the movement while having their own thieving agenda. It's only when you meet them to advance their course that makes it unacceptable.

Ramaphosa is a liar he can't implicate himself

As much as he sees nothing wrong with PG shenanigans at SARS.' IT WAS ABOVE BOARD' playoff line for Thuma Mina brigade.what a joke....😂🤣 ubaba kabani kodwa owenza nje.PresidencyZA

So, Ramaphosa was part of the entourage to and from Saxonwold Guptor village ? Why was it not known before ? How many surprises are we going to be subjected to, from this Thumamina? Hai, we are still going to be shocked , here?

Anc is captured

Yah I also met the Guptas but guys please there nothing sinister, I only ate curry

Lying again. When was this👇

Anti__Bullshit They meet at ANc functions

Lying detector is needed for that affidavit.

a mess 🙄

The more things change, the more they stay the same...

Seems everyone in that admin met the Gupta's.

Our people are eating little crumbs from our natural resource that God has blessed this country with. Who benefits from them, something is wrong fellow Citizens . PublicProtector I am South African in good standing, kindly investigate the above matter. ParliamentofRSA

If ramaphosa and pravin think they wl only blame Zuma for just a mere nonsense of state capture then they need to think twice...Guptas benefited from owning some contracts while pravin and cyril are presiding over a wealth MONOPOLY CABAL like Soros and Rupert.. We wnt them gone

Ish dade 🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤷🏿‍♂️ Silili

But of course there is nothing sinister when it comes to him💁🙄 Not in selling out Lekota and co, not in Marikana, not in Bosasa R500k, not in 2mill job summit turned into 'plenty' job losses to come💁 Noooo! He is Mzansi's very own angel Gabriel 💁

Shouldn't he resign? Just wondering!

Did he eat the curry? It would appear this delicious meal does something to one's memory.

Just stop already! Yeses you all must think we are a bunch of fools huh?! Damn

He would never!!!! Such a great crime

SonofMzansi I think they just shared recipes

But Jacob Zuma has a whole commission established for him because he met the Guptas! Its a joke a big fxckn joke

JJTabane again YourViewOn405

That's Rama for you

Moribe14 If there is so much drama and suspicion surrounding the Gupta’s....how can he say there was nothing sinister? Does CyrilRamaphosa really think we are all so gullible? 🤷🏾‍♀️

😂 this guy went to the Bosasa war room and no one welcomed him? Not even the CEO? Fine, why was he not asking as to why is ANC hosting its call centre at a private company offices, who pays for it and all? Was Zweli as the TG not briefing the top 6 😂😂 yoh the way he lies

themankhosi Afrikaner Broedebond

Sinister, of course not, that's for people without WMC protection 😏

So why did president CyrilRamaphosa accept NhlanhlaNene_MF resignation for doing exactly the same. We are beginning to have misgivings about this President

Kahle Kahle Silili Ramanyusa also ate a curry pot like Fikile Mbalula and Paraffin Unkle JOSHUA DOORE

😂😂😂😂

NUM youth Regional conference went well in Polokwane

Curry on, we are listening

Nkanyiso_ngqulu Yoooo dude can lie

Go on , listening

Mr President you are going to be accused for just seeing them,people out there are looking anything and everything to distract your mission of good governance

Sure!!!!!! Just like Zupta ‘just met the Guptas’ 😏🤨🤔🙄🤷🏻‍♂️

Pravin met a judge...he says it was above board. Ramaphosa met Guptas....he says it was above board. Why are we being taken for fools?

I met a witch but everything was holy. 🤣

_Mcebo_ Actually we met by accident n I was actually shocked that we bumped into each other you know... 🤣

These people must stop wasting our time NX

Cyril: I only meet with the Gupta but there was nothing sinister.

Zuma's muthi is working overtime🙆🙆

I need to visit Gavin Watson, nothing sinister.

No Rupert usekhathele ilo mfo sezudlaphansi uyinkinga u silili..

👏👏hehake it's clear now the mission was just to remove Zuma what happened to guilty by association

Ppl sound disappointed, what was he suppose to say to make you happy. That is his version, do you think he can lie with the PP, Zuma and Ace standing next to him with an axe. No ways.

Only fools trust politicians. They end up defending nonsense

He met everyone this one

So said PG in his initial testimony... what rehearsals sessions this is...

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Should join a comedy club.

So, what is Zuma suffering for?

Where did he meet them? In the shabeen in Saxonwold?

The face of an evil and guilty person

🤣🤣🤣🤣

So basically any government employee that has ever met the Guptas (who had fingers in every government department) is now defacto also corrupt and had intimate knowledge of those evil brothers wrongdoings? Ooookay

They were just talking about growing up in India and South African environment

Missfeliciam All politicians met the Guptas , let them deny

here we go... that's that bullshit

Of course not.

Until you come back with corrections , we patiently await !

Haibo njalo akungadlalwa ngathi 😂😂😂😂😂

Yazi lo baba inkinga phela ke

Hawu! 😂😂😂. Well the last I checked the meeting agenda wasn't important. Icala ukubabona nje...😂

Missfeliciam Yeah right 😂😂😂 You should do stand comedy.

there is something sinister with his admission only now! How many ppl lost their jobs because of meeting guptas? and he kept quiet in fact he gave a false impression that he was beyond reproach..it is very disappointing but not surprising, he has been very dodgy

Lol yhoo ku bird so does that mean anyone or head of state who meets with guptas is captured

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 jah neh

“SARS judge admitted to have met with Pravin but the meeting was above board” We see this consensus strategy the cabal is trying to use to fool us. We are not idiots

😂😂😂😂😂

Today no need to engage on their lies.cabal is not even talking about our birthday

Remember the Guptas were everywhere, testing every leader if they were usable, the strong one's repelled them and the weaker one's attracted them like 2 magnets, north to south...

He must resign, Nhlanhla participated in nothing sinister, he also just met them but was forced to resign.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

😂😂

Iyabhubhudli 'nkezo😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I met with Schabir Shaik and there was nothing sinister about it. True story 😂😂😂

Cyriously 🤔🤣🤣🤣

We can say what we want about the Guptas, but those gents understand long term planning. Imagine influencing every president since Mandela? Surely that’s greatness.

He banna how can we trust him

I wonder who hasnt met the guptas

can they email the minutes of that meeting to me, i just wana see something.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 angihleki ngiyalinganisa

He banna 😳

The Guptas met with a lot of people. Does not mean that by meeting them a person is corrupt. At the same time if the person did not take a bribe money then they should have no fear being investigated.

Cyril can't judge whether or not there's anything is sinister. Time and again he's being a judge in his own cause - that's highly unethical.

EFF are going to throw in a smallernyana detail to challenge this ‘nothing sinister about it’ story.

Cyril Ramaphosa calls for non-paying residents to cough up for electricityPresident Cyril Ramaphosa has called on residents in non-paying areas to join the rest of the country to help make Eskom the world's 'lowest unit cost' producer once again by paying for electricity. Just say Sowetans Oga Cyril!! 😂😂. Don't be too subtle Will never happen! Try other sources of income. Like I.e. stop looting, low income houses offgrid or supplemented by solar. Buying back stored energy from offgrid users! Say currently R100 buys 40 units. A house hold that's buying electricity is spending R600 per month. 25% of RSA is paying. If everyone were to pay were to pay R100 will give you 120 units a house hold would spend around R150 p/m not bad. Its just not the problem!!!
