PRESIDENT Cyril Ramaphosa is slated to testify at the State Capture Commission on Thursday, in which he’s expected to face tough questions relating to allegations of ‘state capture’, which happened under his watch as leader of government business and chairperson of the ANC’s Deployment Committee.
Many witnesses and political parties claim that the ANC’s cadre deployment was the most important contributing factor to corruption and state capture, adding that cadre deployment policy not only covered deployments in key positions but also the redeployment of party loyalists.
Ramaphosa is also expected to face tough questions about the collapse of state institutions under his watch, including key state-owned entities (SOEs) such as Eskom, Transnet and the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (Prasa).
He is also expected to answer to allegations made by former Eskom CEO Brian Molefe that he channelled Eskom deals to a company linked to him.
