UMengameli uCyril Ramaphosa useshaye isipikili sokugcina esigamekweni sokugqekezwa kwepulazi lakhe i-Phala Phala ngo-2020 ngokumisa uMvikeli woMphakathi uBusisiwe Mkhwebane ngoLwesine.
Ngosuku olwandulela lelo, uMkhwebane umemezele ukuthi kuvulwe uphenyo kulandela isikhalo sikaVuyo Zungula sokuthi uRamaphosa “wephule” izimiso zokuziphatha.
Selokhu lowo owayengumphathi wezinhloli u-Arthur Fraser efake isimangalo ngoRamaphosa ngalesi sigameko ngesonto eledlule, kuyacaca ukuthi abaphikisana noRamaphosa – ngaphakathi kwi-ANC nangaphandle – bazosebenzisa lokhu njengesikhali sokuzama ukumketula.
Uhlangothi lukaRamaphosa lulwe naleli hlazo, okokuqala ngokuphika ukuthi kukhona okungalungile okwenziwayo kwase kulandela ukumiswa kukaMkhwebane, osondelene kakhulu nowayenguMengameli wezwe uJacob Zuma.
Esitatimendeni, iHhovisi likaMengameli limemezele ukuthi uMkhwebane uzomiswa emsebenzini ngokushesha.
“Ukungabibikho kuka-advocate Mkhwebane esikhundleni ngeke kuphazamise ukuqhubeka kophenyo olumile noma oluqhubekayo,” kufundeka isitatimende.
IHhovisi likaMengameli alizange linikeze isizathu esiqondile sokumiswa kukaMkhwebane, kodwa izikhalazo zomphakathi zokuthi akhishwe esikhundleni bezilokhu ziqhubeka isikhathi eside.
Okutholwe yihhovisi lakhe, okuvamise ukuphetha ngobubi obenziwa nguRamaphosa nabasekeli bakhe, kubonakale kuyinto eyenziwe ngamabomu.
Ubenesandla kulo mbiko othi uRamaphosa udukise iPhalamende ngamabomu ngesikhathi efakwa imibuzo ngomnikelo ka-R500 000 womkhankaso wobuMengameli be-ANC.
URamaphosa uyalele ukuthi amajaji abuyekeze umbiko wakhe, otholwe unokuntuleka kolwazi oluyisisekelo somthetho nokuthi wenziwe ngokungathembeki. Uye wachithwa futhi wakhishwa enkantolo.
Ukubuyekezwa okuzimele okutholwe yihhovisi lakhe kuye kwatholakala ukuthi kwephule uMthethosisekelo ngokuhlukahlukana, kwenziwe ngokungafanele, noma ngokuvamile kanye nokuthi kungokungathembeki.
Esitatimendeni sakhe sangoLwesithathu, umvikeli womphakathi ubonakale engahambisani nalezi zinsolo zokuthi usebenzisa isikhundla sakhe ukuze “aqonde” izitha zakhe zezepolitiki.
Kodwa lokho akwenzanga lutho ukumvikela futhi manje ubhekene nenqubo yokumbeka icala ezoqala ngomhlaka-11 kuNtulikazi.
