Mantashe did the same with Zuma, and jumped ship at the eleventh hour. Now he is protecting himself, and undermine the Constitution and country. He can't be trusted

This is how a leader should behave and respond to some situation. Gwede stood with Zuma where it was not fashionable and personally I don't have a problem with him doing that for Cyril.

[@abelmojalefamiya4415]

How will the resignation of the President, in a constitutional democracy, plunge the country into a political and economic crisis? Gwede Mantashe did the same things during the tenure of the former President, JG Zuma on Nkandla matter. He is now using English "may ..." to justify the continued stay of the President because he has fears that he might loose his ministerial position and perks. He is in pain shame and you can see it on his face. Sheer spin doctoring that's tired and unhelpful...

I still think that we need to read English carefully. The report has truly used the word, 'May' that word tells us that there was nothing decisive with the decision about Phala Phala.

[@Nkabi_ZA]

The panels role was never to find out if there was anything wrong in Phala Phala, their role was to find out if theres a case he should answer for in parliament, it's gonna be the role of parliament and other law enforcers to find out what happened in Phala Phala.

[@ebenezermissiontv]

@@Nkabi_ZA there's an issue we are all trying to avoid that it was his money not stolen, personal money. I think relevant institutions should talk to him and tell him what is his wrongdoing and pay penalties. I don't think we need get involved with someone personal finances. What about POPI act? Why are we talking about his personal money? Let relevant institutions deal with the issue. That's the reason why nobody can have proper decision about this issue.

Guys we must understand that's his personal money,it's not like Nkandla issue that involves public monies as well as "Digital Vibes"that involves public funds.SARS and Reserve Bank should investigate because that's their field(receiving foreign currency and not declaring it)

[@Coco-kw3iv]

A crime is a crime to sensible people. Ramaphosa has committed crimes. Full stop!

[@ebenezermissiontv]

Very true. I was thinking about that this morning that why is Phala Phala compared with Zuma? It doesn't make sense. I think SARS should get involved and perhaps Reserve Bank, although I don't know the importance of the Reserve Bank, and Ramaphosa. I don't think that personal finances should affect his political position. I think he needs to be honest with whoever he suppose to report his foreign currency to and pay penalties. Full stop.

[@Coco-kw3iv]

@@ebenezermissiontv unfortunately cannot be like this. Not declaring foreign currency in land is criminal. Worse for him being a president. Kidnapping people and torturing them it's a crime. Using public resources for your criminal activities it's a crime. You can't have an amount of R100k in cash in your house talk less of $4 million in your house being a president. So today you guys don't know that a president should be a role model and a man of integrity? Now you want to down play his criminal activities? His personal business has nothing to do with his political career? You are hypocrites unfortunately. Ramaphosa is a criminal...mafia style
