President Cyril Ramaphosa has extended the Special Investigating Unit's mandate into the troubled Umgeni Water Board to probe seven allegations, ranging from appropriating the board's funds to corruption and offences relating to the Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act.
The UDM has threatened court action and wants President Cyril Ramaphosa charged for not directly reporting the theft at his Phala Phala farm to the right authorities.
Presidential spokesperson Vincent Magwenya says President Cyril Ramaphosa will no longer pursue a legal application to have the Section 89 panel’s report into his conduct during the Phala Phala incident reviewed and set aside.
Former Eskom interim chairperson Professor Malegapuru Makgoba believes there would have been no reason for former CEO André de Ruyter to pursue a privately funded intelligence investigation of corruption and sabotage at the State-owned utility had the law enforcement agencies done their jobs. Some of the contents of the intelligence report were raised by De Ruyter in a bombshell television interview in February, in which he claimed that senior political figures had direct links to coal cartels operating in Mpumalanga.
