Get on top and do nothing: Ramaphosa on corruption

Staff reporter

Bloemfontein – If you are struggling to define the presidency of Cyril Ramaphosa, the best analogy would be of Adam and Eve but with Adam being lazy to even think, get on top and do nothing.

“To deal with corruption, you’ve got to investigate corruption. We have institutions that investigate. The president cannot investigate corruption. Once the president investigates corruption, and once the president arrests those who are corrupt, and once the president prosecutes those who are corrupt and the president acts as a judge – then it’s time to run for the hills because it’s all lost.”

Ramaphosa said his job is to ensure law enforcement institutions are well-capacitated to address the crisis of corruption.

“My duty as president is to ensure that we strengthen the institutions that investigate. We also capacitate those institutions that need to arrest and need to prosecute and need to judge.”

There is no perceived inaction, he is a true example of Cyril see no evil, Cyril hear no evil.

This is a president who had money hidden in his farm, this is the same man who sent an email that got Marikana miners killed.

But more importantly, he told State Capture Commission his party is accused number 1 in what? Corruption.
