The presidency has maintained its position that President Cyril Ramaphosa was not captured 'in advance' by those who offered donations to his CR17 ANC presidential campaign.
President Cyril Ramaphosa's spokesperson, Khusela Diko, says donors to the CR17 campaign expected nothing in return.The presidency has maintained its position that President Cyril Ramaphosa was not captured"in advance" by those who offered donations to his CR17 ANC presidential campaign.
"Why the campaign took a decision to keep the day to day information away from the president was largely because they did not want such an obligation created on the president. "No one has come to us at any point in time to say, 'I was promised this and the other for donating to the campaign'. It was people who really believed in the vision and the collective were advancing, and it is on that basis that we're saying maybe we should have a conversation on whether campaign funding should be made public."
Diko would not be drawn on who within the ANC was responsible for leaking emails which have implicated Ramaphosa, but expressed concern that public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane kept the president in the dark about them being part of the evidence in her report on the issue.The sun sets quickly on Ramaphosa's 'new dawn'
