Practice what you preach, pay your own legal fees, DA tells Ramaphosa

Speaking to City Press on Thursday, Malatsi said Ramaphosa should heed his own advice, which he gave to former president Jacob Zuma last year in Parliament.

Malatsi’s utterances come in anticipation of Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s imminent release of her final report into Ramaphosa’s alleged dealings with Bosasa. Like the former president, Cyril Ramaphosa should also not utilise state funds to fight his legal battles.Malatsi said the DA expected the president to take up the report on legal review, but while this was his legal right to do so, “South African taxpayers should not foot the bill for such an endeavour”.

“In particular, the president must reassure South Africans that he does not intend to use the services of the state attorney or cause the state attorney to pay legal practitioners on his behalf relating to this matter,” he said.

Is this about possible violation of executive code of ethics in Parliament under oath or about renovating his own house using state resources or bribery in arms deal for personal benefit?

Come on Malatji for him is chappies money

That's correct, PresJGZuma has also been told to pay his legal fees They're going to pay for me like it or not, That's on Zuma's mind.
