The now-viral video was taken at the ANC national elective conference in Nasrec, Johannesburg, and comes after Zuma’s decision to privately prosecute Ramaphosa.
Less than a day before the conference, the Jacob Zuma Foundation said it had instituted a private prosecution of Ramaphosa.
He has been summoned to appear in court on January 19 to face a charge of being an “accessory after the fact” in the same private prosecution Zuma is pursuing against prosecutor Billy Downer and journalist Karyn Maughan for disclosing a document concerning Zuma’s medical state. “President Cyril Ramaphosa has been charged in a private prosecution with the criminal offence of being accessory after the fact in the crimes committed by, among others, advocate Downer — namely, breaching the provisions of the National Prosecuting Authority Act,” the foundation said.
“The serious crimes for which Mr Ramaphosa has been charged with in a court of law carry the sentence of 15 years' imprisonment.”
