President Ramaphosa may have to watch his back... Some of his potential backstabbers may be those he considered allies. Here's why 👇
and National Assembly Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula have been suggested as suspect in the campaign because of the manner they handled the Phala Phala probe and report by the Section 89 Independent Panel.Political analyst Dr Ntsikelelo Breakfast said Mashatile wouldn’t stand by Ramaphosa because he wanted the President’s position. Similarly Ramaphosa claimed Mapisa-Nqakula’s choice of judge Sandile Ngcobo, to chair the panel that investigated Ramaphosa, was questionable.
Unfortunately that plot was seen by Ramaphosa supporters such as Gwede Mantashe who immediately called Mashatile to order for jumping the gun with the special NEC.Mantashe and others were believed to have argued that the NEC should be preceded by the ANC top six and the national working committee meeting as a procedure.“Mantashe has an advantage that he had been secretary-general for two terms before and he knows the procedures.
Mashatile was not the only one regarded as Ramaphosa’s “wolf in sheep’s clothing” ally. Mapisa-Nqakula was accused of appointing Ngcobo to chair the Section 89 Independent Panel knowing that the judge favoured Zuma in work in the Constitutional Court. The Renew22, or Ramaphosa camp, also raised the fact that the speaker agreed to exclude University of Cape Town law professor and constitutional expert, Richard Calland from the panel after the DA objected to perceived bias because Calland’s media comment favoured the ANC.
