ANC allies seek the truth about Ramaphosa money laundering claims
25 June 2019
ANC allies say that money laundering claims against the president should be investigated and that the probe should be wrapped up as soon as possible.
Last year the DA asked Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane to investigate a R500 00 donation which corruption-accused company Bosasa (now known as African Global Operations) made to the Ramaphosa's campaign for party president in 2017.
On Monday, Mkhwebane revealed that the investigation also included claims of money laundering to the tune of R400m.
But Ramaphosa's campaign manager, Benji Chauke, described the probe as "bizarre" and "baseless". Mkhwebane's office, however, defended the investigation and insisted that it was always part of a probe the main opposition party had requested of her office.
