Action against Cabinet members implicated in State Capture would be informed by ‘outcomes of the processes undertaken by the relevant entities’ — Ramaphosa.
Any action against ministers and deputy ministers implicated in State Capture would be informed by ‘outcomes of the processes undertaken by the relevant entities’ with investigative and prosecutorial capacities, President Cyril Ramaphosa told MPs on Tuesday.
DA leader John Steenhuisen grabbed the politicking opportunity in the Q&A session to link the raid to President Cyril Ramaphosa’s much-promised yet uncompleted executive lifestyle audits. Presiding officer Cedric Frolick agreed, even as Steenhuisen argued that the President had opened the door by saying Parliament was one of the entities he would take his cue from when acting against ministers and deputies.
“As the head of the legislature in South Africa, the Speaker holds a position of great responsibility. The rules of Parliament envision that the Speaker is someone who ‘upholds the dignity and good name of the House’. All three feature on the ANC’s 2024 election list, with Mantashe at number three, Mahlobo at 13 and Kodwa at 25.
