The Constitutional Court ruling that compelled Parliament to proceed with an impeachment investigation of President Cyril Ramaphosa will no doubt reveal his nonsensical version of events of the theft of $580,000 at his Phala Phala farm was nothing but a cover up.
A forensic investigation contradicts Ramaphosa’s claim that about R10 million in forex was stolen from a “couch” at his farm. Numerous reports indicate Ramaphosa lied about why so much forex was hidden at his property. The impeachment process will uncover the truth.
South Africa’s political landscape is changing. Julius Malema’s conviction and sentencing, Jacob Zuma’s looming criminal conviction and Ramaphosa’s impeachment may trigger the collapse of the ANC, EFF and MK cults. The nation faces both uncertainty and opportunity.
Ramaphosa’s presidency is a dismal failure. He delivered nothing he promised since taking office. As deputy president, Ramaphosa stood idly by while his predecessor, Jacob Zuma degraded critical democratic institutions and initiated the State Capture looting spree.
Despite promising a “New Dawn” in 2018, Ramaphosa effectively transformed South Africa into a full-blown mafia state in which organized crime took control of the SA Police Service. Ramaphosa ignores blatant criminality by senior ANC officials and even covers for them.
Crime Intelligence officer, Feroz Khan and Gauteng Hawks head Ebrahim Kadwa have been arrested and, along with suspended national police commissioner, Fannie Masemola, are among 15 high-ranking cops scheduled to appear in Gauteng courts this week.
Cyril Ramaphosa may be SA’s top organized crime boss. He presides over a vast criminal network that effectively captured an entire country and its resources to enrich its corrupt members while millions of impoverished citizens eke out a meagre existence on social welfare grants. Ramaphosa and a small political elite became billionaires off this system.
Ramaphosa’s ideology driven foreign policy crippled SA’s economy. The ANC’s allegiance to rogue and totalitarian regimes put SA at odds with its largest trading partners. Despite Ramaphosa’s claims of “protecting SA’s sovereignty” his subservience to China is obvious.
The ANC’s primary self-enrichment tool is Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment. It misuses this policy not to economically empower millions of previous disadvantaged citizens but as a mechanism for illicit wealth transfer to a small politically connected group.
News media reports are currently dominated by revelations of state corruption, theft, tender fraud, money-laundering, racketeering, assassinations of whistleblowers, collapse of public infrastructure and much more – while Ramaphosa remains silent and inactive.
Contractors in the ANC run City of Johannesburg testify that City Power runs “mafia style” operations for personal enrichment. ANC mayor, Dada Moreno ran the city into the ground. Mismanagement at City Power ran up debt of R16,3 billion. Ramaphosa remains silent.
Finance Minister, Enoch Godongwana revealed the City of JHB is bankrupt. It owes creditors R25 billion with only R3,9 billion cash in hand. Despite this, Moreno authorised an illegal R10,3 billion SA Municipal Workers Union wage hike. Ramaphosa remains silent.
And while corrupt and incompetent ANC cadres destroy the City of JHB, it proposed pay increases of up 62% for its non performing executives. Ramaphosa remains silent.
The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) was placed under administration because of “irregular expenditure,” unresolved student appeals and many other failures. The NSFAS Board consist of incompetent ANC appointees. Ramaphosa remains silent.
Almost every government department in Ramaphosa’s administration is riddled with corruption, fraud and mismanagement. The president has clearly lost control of his party and therefore incapable of governing the country. His weakness has cost the nation dearly.
Christians must earnestly pray for South Africa. Corrupt politicians are being exposed and judged. We must pray that God will uproot the wicked and set honest and capable men and women in authority. Ramaphosa failed the people of SA. He must resign in disgrace.
