Chief justice Raymond Zondo has found that President Cyril Ramaphosa opted to look the other way at the early signs of state capture when he served as former president Jacob Zuma's second in command.

“The president readily acknowledges the existence of state capture as a co-ordinated project and has made much of his drive to right the wrongs of state capture. However, the question of what he knew is still somewhat opaque.”

“This aligns with President Ramaphosa's broader contention that his ability to act was curtailed by the political reality of the time — the 'balance of forces' in power in the ruling party and in the national executive. This is an indictment on the party and its leadership. “He was not dismissed and did not face any consequences for his action. It is difficult, then, to understand why other allegations in the public domain — in some cases made by loyal ANC members themselves — continued to go unaddressed for so long.

We're tired of this guy he must leave

You’re expecting too much from the man … How does he fight himself He was part of the previous ANC decisions and is still corrupt to the core himself 🤨🧐

Tell us something we don't know

So much for the DA's conspiracy theories abt last minute edits to the report, to favour CR. The DA with its propensity to speedily spout conspiracy theories is beginning more 'n more to resemble Trump's MAGA faction of the GOP, as well as QAnon.

MzwaneleManyi So, Mzwanele, you agree then that there must have been state capture under Zuma (in order for us to agree that CR looked the other way)? Progress

MzwaneleManyi That's an odd own goal Mr Manyi... I mean... if there was no corruption, what was CR looking the other way from?

He had an agenda and is complicit by knowing about this and looking the other way and just waiting and biding his time knowing he would be President in the future. The ANC IS ROTTEN TO THE CORE , FROM THE TOP TO THE BOTTOM VOETSEKANC 2024ANCISOUT

He stood no chance,

He wanted to establish a commission or consultation team to tell the guys how to loot.

He looked the other way because he was also busy looting with GLENCORE himself🤷

Never been a more greasy politician than matamela

This is a circus. The commission has findings against the same man they submitted the report to.🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

He enjoyed the ride,he's sweet, sharp,very convincing,all talk,his script writers are very good,and he's never done anything wrong, what a man,Molifer was wrong about CR'S involvement in Eskom ,Glencor and the war room,'What a Man'

meaning he allowed state capture then...

DCloudius LOL, nobody should listen to that fool

To King Arthur Fraser

Who's fooling who👇

President Zuma did nothing but tried to free South Africas independence in reality until plotted by anc foreign alliances Guptas, bribing media up to today, Marikana, US dollars, Bill gates visit & the DA riding its Ramaphosa donkey in closed doors where are the Trillion tax?

PhalaPhalaFarmGate

I am A.N.C but this thing is simple Ramaphosa is hired somewhere by stracom and white Monopoly capital to weaken everything Soe's plus A.N.C and the economy so that they can catch iy on the otherside

MzwaneleManyi Accomplices, right 😎😎

MzwaneleManyi I know you just retweeted, you not particularly happy.🤣🤣🤣. Don't worry, one day you will be President of SA and have V Ngalwana as CJ.

Hilarious

He didn't just look the other way he knew what was going on as head of government business and overseeing SOEs and also head of cadre deployment so every corrupt individuals were appointed by him not Zuma but even Zondo is overlooking that fact

Waze wa bheka phezulu boh naye 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Proof... Pvt school English will gey you everywhere

Its called leading from behind or the long game in MBA circles

VoetsekANC

Does Glencore and Eskom ring a bell, paid media. To clean Ramadollar's name what about Bosasa

He didn't just look the other way, he was a beneficiary of the status qua. Glencore was prospering, Shanduka was prospering. He was even on eskom remedial management.

😂😂😂

Well he now president and Crooked CyrilRamaphosa still looking the other way.

Cyril was hungry…

He seems to make it a habit to not report crimes

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂pathetic. Really

Guess he was too busy at the auctions 😬😬😬😬

So while all this was happening, Ramaphosa was in ICU for 9yrs 🤣…. People are Dom kops! Now he wakes up given guns to blast his people he was with when sh***t was going down 🙌🙌🤣… SA of Dom kops!!!

They were together in the crook's place!!!!!

This is why you never trust a government VaccineSideEffects monkeypox MonkeypoxVirus Join us Armageddonnews

He need to be investigated By the way now is boring you busy saying Zuma's corrupt but no evidence till to date

He was waiting for his turn. So he did not want close the gate before his time arrived.

put em all in prison

Matrass Bank and sealed cr17 bank statements phalaphala Marikana Glencore

What a small price to pay 💰

NeilZ4EVA1234U Was too busy shoving dollar bills in his Phala Phala mattress

The state was captured way before the Guptas. That's why such a big fuss was made over the Guptas. Ask Glencore. Cyril Ramaphosa is a sell out & an uncle Tom. He can starve his own people for a cheque. No manhood in him. A white man can slap him & he won't do a thing.

🤣🤣🤣poor Ramaphosa if he didn't look the other way he would have turned into a pillar of salt

Zondo is protecting his friend

Oh Just A Slap On The Wrist, Lets Get Those Criminals That Looted Billions From The States Purse!

I thought the report was delayed to allow Ramaphosa to give inputs? Why is he then incriminated?

So he failed as a second in charge. Bt in the commission he said he recommend Brian to Nxamalala, jiji the report says it otherwise, worse i remmember clear watching it, wow we taken for fool, worse my tax, yeeeerrrr

Zondo uyasinyela struu

Who is Cyril Ramaphosa?👇👇👇👇

Who is Cyril Ramaphosa?👇👇👇👇

It's because those signs were done by him, Cyril. It's a visa versa situation👇👇👇

He was the head of government business and head of ANC deployment committee

We know that Zuma should have fired him so at least he did something by making sure that the commission run its course so that truth could be taught

Lier

Phala phala farm gate must go

PhalaPhalaFarmGate

Strategically and indirectly absolving him for any wrong doing.

CyrilRamaphosa just looked away?!😳 Zondo’s StateCaptureReport is pure nonsense for sure. 1. It was Ramaphosa who recommended Brian Molefe to Eskom. 2. Ramaphosa sent Arthur Fraser to correctional services, where Zondo says he was able to grant PresJGZuma medical parole.

We're here 👇, and we can't afford to lose focus.

It destroys the false narrative that Zondo is biased

Failure to act is a crime on its own

🤣🤣🤣 laughs in Glencore,CR17BankStatements

Totally agree! Just one of the many, many ways that CR has fallen short of my expectations of him!

Chairing eskom war room is definitely not 'looking the other way'

🤣🤣🤣, make sense-looked the other way while driving the Eskom War Room.

Lol

He couldn't because he was part, remember he was a chair of Eskom war room were he was bringing cadre deployment to Eskom,also he was securing Glencore lifetime deal

Di loma le barafi

The jokes keep writing themselves, Those two are best friends Zondo will never let his friend go down

Zondo think we are stupid...

Mbeki tried to fight and we all know where he ended - outside in cold for years....

CyrilRamaphosa forget the anc sor do what's right

If he just did a little more than he did, he would not be president today to expose and deal with these issues. Tactics, comrades!

Sophie_Mokoena That makes him complacent 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think we need to be told what the role and purpose of a deputy president is...

Ofhie57405558 😂 Niyasdakelwa nina

DD doing the same DP must be scrapped

Some are so insensitive to corruption they don't believe it exists.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ya neh I think Fraser should release the videos ngeke

He is bluffing

I wonder what Zondo is trying to do

Correct!!!

Njabstyle7 And Cyril receives the StateCaptureReport. The jokes write themselves. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Mthigo_ Ramaphosa was the Chairperson of the Deployment Committee for a period of five years…and that many of these appointments occurred during this period

😂😂😂that’s why he recommended Brian Molefe to Eskom he was looking the other way 😂😂

And got himself fired I am happy he didn't act recklessly if he did...we'd be sitting with Nkosazana Zuma as our president and the State Capture report would be under the carpet

PhalaPhalaFarm is a crime scene

he's hard on others and all of sudden very weak on mr matrass. SAD

LeboLebo___ Guilty as charged.

Well that makes him as guilty as Zuma for doing nothing about it.

CoruscaKhaya ...but still,, no recommendations.

And it worked. Well done by Cyril

He never chooses justice nor the right way but a safe and beneficiary way for him and his comrades. he choose ANC over the country, he choose mattress over SARS, He choose dollar over Rands, he choose whites over blacks..the list is endless StateCaptureReport PhalaPhalaFarmGate

CoruscaKhaya 😂 😂 Zondo need to respect us

How because clearly he's sent to capture the state.

Thick as thieves the whole fucking thieving lot.

😀 what a joke

Everyone in the ANC is complicit. Party before country.

CyrilRamaphosa also looked the other way when his staff donated his $4 million to Namibia... At least they left the mattress, ne...

Looking away means participation CR17BankStatements zuma

Look which way? They was together in the crooked place. ANC is a gangsters paradise. He's a party to state capture and he must go down with Zuma.

So Raymond Zondo did not recommend that Cyril Ramaphosa be investigated for being an “accomplice and accessory after the fact” on state capture by Jacob Zuma? Shocking in deed.🤔

The very question I’ve been asking from day one, as Zuma’s wingman, his silence condoned Zuma’s actions.

jmtros The clean president!

voetsekramaphosa corrupt like the rest VoetsekANC

Eusebius True, in his defence, had he said anything as VP, he would never have made it to president

Duh. 🙄 No the sitting Vice President had no idea what was going on… you’de swear this was rocket science the way it carries on.

He was part of the state capture

He was busy at Glencore with his dealings

Focus and Respect please 🙏 we here 📍

Eusebius CyrilRamaphosa is a dangerous man and often looks the other way when it matters the most. July Unrest and the Phoenix massacre last year demonstrates this. No law enforment when life and businesses where lost.

He was busy with coaches and mattresses in dollars.

Zondo can't tell us Cyril looked away when there were assertions that he was deeply involved in Eskom matters, to a point where he broke the law with regards to conflict of interest. Media must be consistent by giving us analytical reporting on these findings.

Exactly the same as how David Mabuza is looking away. He will eventually emerge as our savior who is going to save us from the flops of Ramaphosa. And so on and so on... 🙄

Sold us and turned a blind eye on the nation, later becomes president and gets away with R500 billion

Please advise it's not a crime to look the other way when someone is doing or committing crime?

But eventually he rid us of that traitor in spectacular fashion, he did well

Everyone must be held accountable

Omission gives rise to a lawsuit.

If he did not look the other way he would have been got rid of and could not have been President today.

How can he do more while he bribe his robbers PhalaPhalaFarmGate

KhulaniQoma Enabler!! Not fit to hold office.

In 2032 some report will say Zondo chose to look away from something. Politics keeps our brains awake.

Ooh please! if Zuma is corrupt so is Ramaphosa and the entire ANC gang.

No one is immune in that charterist, petit bourgeoisie party, no wonder it has millionaires and billionaires within a space of just 28yrs yrs, whilst giving R350s to ordinary citizens.

Ah like uZondo no Cyril nje 🚮🚮🚮

But still delivers the report to him?

He was not aware my lord

CyrilRamaphosa needs to grow a backbone, he is too timid!

He should have done what Fraser did, right?

Oh so ,the position was more important than being patriotic So choosing to look the other way doesn’t make you an accomplice?But duduzane should’ve reported ..

Finally a reliable source, witness and evidence provider for all law enforcement agencies. Its his time to strengthen the MYANC n this country.

Ouch.

He looked here 👇 PhalaPhalaFarmGate

But I thought the narrative was that Zondo was friends with Ramaphosa 🤣😂🤣

What are the recommendations? Should he be investigated? Oh I forget that Zondo does everything to protect the man who gave him he's job

He's the one who's about to restore the national pride. In him we are confidence of victory of good over evil

He's the one who's about to restore the national pride. In him we are confidence of good over evil

He could have been chased away from the deputy president's position,it wouldn't have been possible for him to be President today.

Cyril is useless as pres. of SA. You should have been warned.
