This weekend’s meeting was no ordinary meeting of the ruling party, which has over the years battled corruption allegations and factionalism.

Under normal circumstances, the party holds such press briefing on Tuesdays, but with the stakes so high, the governing party has moved the press conference closer.

Ramaphosa was referring to the fact that some of the ANC’s senior leaders at the national level and various provinces have been caught allegedly dipping their hands in the Covid-19 cookie jar. Heading to the meeting on Friday, Andile Lungisa, a senior party member from the Eastern Cape wrote to Magashule and asked him to lead a process to force Ramaphosa to face the music over the CR17 campaign fund which raked in over R1bn before the 2017 elective conference in Nasrec.Then on Friday, former ANC president Jacob Zuma wrote a letter of his own, where he criticised Ramaphosa for his stance on supposedly accusing all party members of being corrupt.
