LIVE | Ramaphosa says those who resisted state capture were either 'booted out' or left on their own accord because they couldn't stomach it
Ramaphosa says the worst aspect of state capture is that it had a"poisonous effect" on the state, as it spread through the state and other actors thought if the Guptas could do it, they could too. Ramaphosa says those who resisted state capture were either"booted out" or left on their own accord because they couldn't stomach it.Ramaphosa confirms that he believes state capture exists as a"well-organised" project that influenced policy and legal processes.
Ramaphosa says questions of who the ANC could accept funding from had led to"huge problems" within the party.Pretorius points out that the ANC deployment committee named certain judges that it wanted appointed, and was not making general statements about transformation requirements.Ramaphosa again responds that the ANC was not responsible for appointing judges – as this was the responsibility of the Judicial Services Commission.
Ramaphosa:"It's possible that in time to come, we may once again delineate a person, as set in our Constitution, who can be in charge. But for now, I've deemed it proper to realign it properly and have it in the Presidency." Ramaphosa agrees that it is not unreasonable to link the two, and says this is part of the investigation that is currently under way.
Ramaphosa responds and says that he does not know, but tries to give a technical explanation for why Jafta's contract was not renewed.COMMENT: It is disingenuous for Ramaphosa to agree that former SSA acting director-general Loyiso Jafta gave evidence before the commission with his blessing. Ramaphosa gave the former intelligence minister Ayanda Dlodlo his blessing to block Jafta's evidence.
