Ramaphosa, who said this while addressing members of the SA National Editors Forum on Wednesday evening, spoke as prices of some PPEs skyrocketted by more than 800%.
"I've often asked myself what gets into somebody's head that a mask that would ordinarily cost R2 or R3 is now sold at R90.
"... anyone who sells anything to government must not be seeking to make an excessive profit because government manages public money, it is people's money…" Ramaphosa responded that there were quite a number of people who are being investigated currently and the Special Investigating Unit was giving him reports every six weeks.
"Paul is back in the country and subsequent to that we've met with the leadership of the SAPS and we are working on an memorandum of understanding which will arm journalists and the police as well on what they need to do and how to conduct themselves at crime scenes," said Ngalwa.
