Ramaphosa wins first battle: CR17 campaign donors banking records sealed | IOL News

Johannesburg - President Cyril Ramaphosa has successfully petitioned the North Gauteng High Court’s Deputy Judge President Aubrey Ledwaba to seal the banking details of his CR17 donors arguing that the Public Protector Adv Busisiwe Mkhwebane had allegedly obtained the documents illegally.

The ruling of Judge Ledwaba was confirmed by Mkhwebane’s spokesperson Oupa Segalwe after legal representative of Mkhwebane and the Presidency met with Judge Ledwaba on Thursday morning following a complaint lodged by Ramaphosa’s legal counsel on Thursday last week.

On Sunday, however, The Sunday Independent published the names of various eminent persons in South Africa who included Nicky Oppenheimer and PIC board member Maria Ramos and said they were part of the people who apparently contributed almost R1 billion towards Ramaphosa’s ANC presidential campaign ahead of its national elective conference in December 2017.“The Judge took a decision to seal the records purely on the basis of the insinuations that the records were obtained illegally.
