The opposition is demanding a full-scale inquiry into the extent of the 'corrupt' relationship, which also involves Ramaphosa's family.
He wrote the letter to Mashinini asking for a full-scale investigation of the matter. “We are of the view that this conduct is in contravention of Section 9 of the Electoral Code of Conduct, which states that ‘No registered party or candidate may abuse a position of power, privilege or influence, including parental, patriarchal, traditional or employment authority to influence the conduct or outcome of an election’.
He added: “The IEC must also assure the people of South Africa that such dirty tricks will not play themselves out in this year’s election on 8 May – an election the ANC knows it may very well lose.” The DA leader said if Ramaphosa was truly intent on dealing with corruption within the ANC and government, he should institute a full-scale independent inquiry – headed by a retired judge to be selected by the chief justice – to fully investigate the Bosasa scandal, which now involved the president and his family.
“He must also ask his Cabinet to audit all government contracts and deals with Bosasa and cancel all existing government contracts with Bosasa. “ make public his son Andile’s business contract with Bosasa, which he told parliament he has personally seen. We urge the president to stop talking and start acting on corruption – even when it implicates his own family,” Maimane said.
