Ramaphosa criticized for son's advisory deal with Bosasa
The African Democratic Change wants President Cyril Ramaphosa to step down.
This follows an admission by Ramaphosa's son, Andile Ramaphosa, that his company was paid R2 million to advise Bosasa on more than 20 public and private sector contracts in Uganda and Kenya.
Ramaphosa junior says the deal which his company - Blue Crane Capital - signed with Bosasa in 2017 was a severe oversight.
He's told News24 that it's now clear with the benefit of hindsight, that their due diligence was not enough in retrospect of his father's role going into the Presidency.
"As the president, he has not been acting courageously. And without him acting courageously - this is what happens. Now, there are scandals such as Bosasa coming out, and his son coming out which speaks to him acting in a moral and courageous way."
Meanwhile, several suspects including the Bosasa's former COO, Angelo Agrizzi have today appeared in the Specialised Commercial Crimes Court over the alleged theft of millions of rands from contracts with correctional services.
