Democratic Alliance (DA) leader Mmusi Maimane says he’ll be submitting evidence to the Public Protector on President Cyril Ramaphosa’s non-disclosure of declaration of interests.
Public Protector Busisiwe Mkwebane is investigating whether Ramaphosa lied about a campaign donation received from African Global Operation, formerly known as Bosasa and has further widened her investigations to include allegations of money laundering.
“In the interest of transparency, I will urge that any president who occupies the office here must put the information publicly and people must come and view it.

Allegations levelled against Ramaphosa and his son, Andlie Ramaphosa around benefiting from controversial systems management company, Bosasa; are just some of the reasons that prompted Maimane and DA Gauteng Premier candidate, Solly Msimanga, to head to the country’s capital to demand the country’s number one to declare his interests since his election as the President of the Republic.
