ANC SILENCE
Zuma says the party kept quiet when Ramaphosa’s powers were clipped when it came to appointing a chairperson for the Commission in to State Capture.
“This symbolised an opportunistic amendment of the Constitution of South Africa.”
CR17 ELECTION CAMPAIGN
The 81 year old says he finds issue in the funding for Ramaphosa 2017 election campaign and has accused the president of purchasing the leadership position.
“The position of President had been stolen or bought by forces outside of the organisation for an amount ranging between the R300million, which the President admitted under oath, and the estimated R1billion or more, found by the Public Protector in her BOSASA report in which Ramaphosa was fingered.”
