He was put under the spotlight to respond to claims by Molefe that the ANC top six from the 53rd national conference, of which Ramaphosa was deputy president, ignored his cry for help to stop corruption at the embattled rail agency.
Ramaphosa believes Molefe should have used the available avenues within Prasa to act against individuals he believed were corrupt, instead of expecting interference from Luthuli House on state matters.
“The support that he sought in terms of the PFMA [Public Finance Management Act] was a given. We said 'go ahead', and I find it disingenuous that someone who is a chair of an entity would then say, 'I am powerless and I need your full and total support.'“And so the question is [whether] he should have gone ahead as the chair of the board.
