Ramaphosa responds to Maimane─── 10:06 Sat, 28 Sep 2019
President Cyril Ramaphosa says queries about a letter in which the ANC is alleged to have thanked Bosasa for a R3m donation should be addressed to the organisation concerned because it is a party political issue.
In a response letter dated September 25 and addressed to Mmusi Maimane, Ramaphosa states that he has reflected on the matter and that in his view, this is not an issue that relates to the mandate or responsibility of the state president.
"It is a party political issue and therefore any queries should be addressed to the party concerned," Ramaphosa wrote in the letter, which News24 has seen.
This comes after Maimane wrote to the president on September 20, threatening legal action if Ramaphosa failed to respond.
