Ramaphosa confirms Mkhwebane submissions
President Cyril Ramaphosa confirmed on Thursday that he has provided answers to Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane regarding her probe into the R500 000 donation from Bosasa.
The money was donated to Ramaphosa during his campaign to become the African National Congress (ANC) president in 2017.
Former Bosasa auditor Peet Venter told the commission of inquiry into state capture that he was instructed to pay the money into the bank account of a foundation belonging to Ramaphosa's son Andile.
"President Ramaphosa submitted his response to the Public Protector, Adv. Busisiwe Mkhwebane, today, Thursday 27 June 2019. The President’s submission contains various confirmatory affidavits and supporting documents which, in his view, will enable this matter to be brought to conclusion as speedily as possible,” the presidency said in a statement.
