Afriforum applies to question Ramaphosa at #ZondoCommission─── 12:43 Mon, 22 Mar 2021
AfriForum said it has filed a formal application to the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture to question President Cyril Ramaphosa about the ANC’s cadre deployment policy.
In a statement on Monday, the organisation said it also requested to be given the opportunity to make submissions in this regard and also to cross-examine the president.
“The application results from the fact that President Ramaphosa was chairperson of the ANC’s cadre deployment committee from 2013 to 2016. During this time, several individuals who today are accused of corruption and state capture were appointed to key positions on the ground of their loyalty to the ANC,” Afriforum said.
Head of Policy and Action, Ernst Roets said the ANC’s cadre deployment policy is probably the most important contributing factor to corruption and state capture.
He said the individuals in their sights include Brian Molefe, Dudu Myeni, Pravin Gordhan, Lucky Montana, and Jeff Radebe, among others.
