#Bosasagate: Ramaphosa should suspend Mokonyane with immediate effect
22 January 2019
The Democratic Alliance (DA) calls on President Cyril Ramaphosa to suspend Environmental Affairs Minister, Nomvula Mokonyane, with immediate effect following the damning allegations levelled against her at the Zondo Commission of Inquiry into State Capture this past week.
In his testimony, former Bosasa COO, Angelo Agrizzi, revealed under oath that over a span of several years Minister Mokonyane allegedly received an amount totalling to R50 000, on a monthly basis from the company. He also revealed that Mokonyane received a list of gifts which included 8 lambs, 12 cases of frozen chicken, 4 cases of spirits and various premium brand brandies, at the end of each year.
Clearly Mokonyane is a Minister compromised and cannot be trusted to serve in the best interest of the people.
Mokonyane undoubtedly played a central role in aiding and abetting the capture of our state. The president must do the right things and suspend her without any delay as she must be held accountable for her actions.
