JOHANNESBURG/CAPE TOWN - President Cyril Ramaphosa has confirmed that then Prasa chairperson Popo Molefe had approached the African National Congress top six expressing concern about irregularities and corruption at the parastatal.
The president was asked about this. He said: “I do recall him mentioning the attacks of the board and him by Mr Montana. I have no immediate recollection of this R79 million donation that was mentioned.” Ramaphosa has denied any involvement in decisions taken by Optimum Coal when the company fell out with Eskom over coal supply.He’s told the state capture inquiry he had no operational role at the company, that supplied the state-owned power utility with coal worth billions.
Ramaphosa said he had no operational involvement and eventually disposed of his shareholding ahead of his appointment as deputy president. He said it was difficult to run a so-called war room to improve the running of the parastatal: “There were always gaps in the information and they always felt that they didn’t get as much information as they wanted.”
