Ramaphosa to face parliament questions over leaked CR17 bank statements

SAfm — The leaked CR17 bank statements will once again come under the spotlight when President Cyril Ramaphosa appears before the National Assembly later today. This is the first time Ramaphosa will have to face oral questions in parliament since the details of the campaign funding became public. EFF leader Julius Malema is set to ask the president about details of people in the Office of the President and the Cabinet who were involved in his party fundraising campaign. DA Leader Mmusi Maimane has also written to speaker Thandi Modise requesting her to add a question over the alleged payments by the president to some cabinet members for their role in the campaign. Communications consultant Chris Vick has weighed in on the matter saying the presidency seems to be losing the public relations battle, as those with access to the bank statements consistently define the public narrative
