The civil rights organisation AfriForum today revealed that Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa opposes AfriForum\u2019s joint court application in the Constitutional Court.<\/span><\/p>\n

This follows the application brought by AfriForum, the Quaker Peace Centre and the F.W. de Klerk Foundation in the Constitutional Court on 8 June this year to order Ramaphosa to establish a Commission of Inquiry into the allegations of state capture.<\/p>\n

The application was brought against Ramaphosa, President Jacob Zuma and the South African Government. All three respondents opposed the application.<\/p>\n

\u201cRamaphosa\u2019s recent statements in the media that he would approve the appointment of a commission are inconsistent with his opposition of AfriForum\u2019s application. In fact, the application would empower him to establish such a commission,\u201d says Monique Taute, Head of AfriForum\u2019s Anti-corruption Unit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

AfriForum will continue with the legal process and is of the opinion that Ramaphosa would not have opposed the application if he was serious about a commission of inquiry.<\/p>\n

AfriForum encourages the public to support this case. SMS your name and \u201cKorrupsie\u201d to 45352 (R1).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
