Public Protector’s probe into Ramaphosa widens to include money laundering | City_Press
Money laundering might be included in inquiry but there is no way the report will be out before polls
DA leader Mmusi Maimane met Mkhwebane last Tuesday to discuss progress on the probe and to table the main opposition’s concerns that the matter was taking too long to conclude since the party lodged the complaint more than five months ago. She would also not comment on claims from those close to the process that she had been lobbied to halt the release of the report until after the elections so that it did not dent the ANC’s chances of winning.
Bosasa, under its CEO Gavin Watson, has been accused of bribing ANC politicians with large sums of monthly retainers to secure lucrative government tenders worth more than R10 billion. Even Ramaphosa’s opponents inside the ANC found the prospects of embarrassing him tantalising but felt losing electoral support over the saga would be more costly for all factions.
Last week Maimane said the Ramaphosa case could have been concluded as early as February but “it became apparent during the process of investigating the matter that the nature and extent of the relationship between Ramaphosa and Bosasa runs much deeper than initially thought”.
