President Cyril Ramaphosa on Friday said he would not back down from the impeachment process against public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane. He has also made it clear that he has no intention of will not withdraw his notice of intention to suspend her.

Mkhwebane had argued that Ramaphosa is “not legally entitled or competent to take any steps” in line with section 194 of the constitution.

Ramaphosa’s lawyers, however, dismissed this as a generality as it did not specify which of the public protector’s investigations gave rise to the alleged conflict. Ramaphosa’s statements on the misuse of public funds by ANC politicians as serious investigations in which he is fingered. “It is also not correct that the president is 'personally, heavily and multiply conflicted in this matter due to various investigations which have recently been, or are presently being, investigated' by the public protector against or concerning allegations of a breach of ethics and/or violations of the constitution.

“In our view, neither a past investigation nor an ongoing investigation creates a conflict of interest. Had this been the case, the public protector could immunise herself against the processes envisaged by section 194 of the constitution by initiating investigations against those organs of state or those individuals she considers to be a threat to her.”

Justice for marikana miners who were brutally murdered!

He can do anything he wants because he is assured of the backing he gets from his captured courts.

South Africa, a sitting president CyrilRamaphosa is bullying the country’s PublicProtector, while being the subject of the investigation. Basically Ramaphosa is taking South Africa to court Let’s go to court, let’s see how strong the legal industry is

He is going to suspend àll incoming protectors as his things on his bank statements will come out. Sooner or later

His impeachment is coming too

He is above the law even the constitution

There is a saying that goes 'Those whom the gods would destroy they first make mad and then arrogant'

Had this been Zuma, mainstream media mercenaries such as Propaganda24 would have penned multiple anti-Zuma articles.

He forgets he won't be president for life..

Let us see who will win looks like this time he got white wrong advise

Mfana

This man is under investigations but still has power to suspend

You're the only president to suspend a PP because she differs from your view. Isn't because your way to the highest office is clouder than most presidents before you🤔

Ave ese arrogant lomnumzane yerrrrrrrrr, ukuthi uthembeni noma uthenjisweni, asazi, kodwa nje he had chosen a point of no return and a hardened position... Ngathi uthi come what may...

Ramaphosa must have nightmares about his delinquent party Anc is bloody useless

He is implicated. Ramaphosa can't be a judge in this case since he is implicated

If was expected of Ramaphosa. He is a dictator

Tsek!

Ramaphosa is the most autocratic president SA has ever had and he's buoyed by the fact that he controls the judiciary and the media.

Cyril is now law of SA
