On the controversial question of who financed Ramaphosa’s presidential election campaign (CR17), Ngalwane said there were allegations of people being appointed to positions on the board of state enterprises and others receiving contracts of considerable value, allegedly as a result of their financial contributions. to the election campaign of December 2017.
“Are these accusations true or false? Will a simple denial of these accusations suffice for the commission? Documents that could possibly serve as taxpayer evidence to the president’s election campaign remain sealed from public scrutiny by court order. ”
These, he said, are some of the serious questions that Zuma’s cabinet, or at least senior members of the cabinet, should be called upon to answer.
“My emphasis is simply to indicate that the terms of reference are broader than [former] President Zuma, the Gupta family, and those portrayed as associated with them. The terms of reference require that the commission also investigate people who were part of Zuma’s cabinet and public officials (such as CEOs).
When asked what his response would be to those who might see this as veiled support for the former president, he said: “One word: nonsense.”
The state spokesman for the capture investigation, Mbuyiselo Stemelo, was not immediately available for comment.
