DA leader Mmusi Maimane has threatened legal action against President Cyril Ramaphosa if he fails to respond about a letter in which the ANC is alleged to have thanked Bosasa - now trading as African Global Operations (AGO) - for a R3m donation.


In a letter dated September 20 and addressed to Ramaphosa, Maimane asks the president to urgently respond, or the DA will pursue this matter legally. 

News24 previously reported that, on March 31, 2014, then ANC treasurer general Zweli Mkhize thanked Bosasa former CEO Gavin Watson for a R3m donation to the governing party. 

On August 22 this year, Maimane handed a copy of Mkhize's letter to Ramaphosa in Parliament, asking him what Mkhize meant by the "continued financial support" from Bosasa. 

He also asked whether Ramaphosa would commit to ensure that the governing party repays to the fiscus all the money received from Bosasa from the past 15 years. 

Ramaphosa said he would study the letter and respond to Maimane later. But more than one month later, the president has not responded, says the DA.
