Speaking during his weekly media briefings in Cape Town, Magwenya was responding to a question on calls for Ramaphosa to step aside pending the outcome of the investigation into the Phala Phala scandal. Magwenya said members of the cabinet reported directly to the president and therefore had a direct line to him.
Asked whether Ramaphosa felt undermined by his subordinates and intended taking action against them, Magwenya said: “Any individual within [the cabinet] that steps out of the established decorum, that behaviour is more of a reflection on them that it is on the president. The president has never publicly berated any of his cabinet members.” If Ramaphosa has concerns about the performance of his ministers, he raises that in private, Magwena said.
