'I was further concerned that these sums of money, claimed to be 'donations', created a situation of the risk of some sort of state capture by those donating such large sums of the money.'

In court papers filed in the North Gauteng High Court this week, Mkhwebane dared Ramaphosa to prove how the ANC benefited from donations made to his campaign, again insisting that the more than R200m raised was for his personal gain.

“I am surprised that the president, who has sought to shine the light in the path of what he calls 'renewal' and a 'New Dawn' for the country, needs persuasion that such transactions for the benefit of a person occupying the position of deputy president of the Republic should concern him and may constitute a violation of section 96 of the Constitution,” she said.

Mkhwebane stuck to her guns in relation to emails which put Ramaphosa at the centre of fundraising for the CR17 campaign.In her affidavit, Mkhwebane slammed Ramaphosa’s conduct as “constitutionally questionable” and accused him of not being transparent.
