President Cyril Ramaphosa has denied using the National Prosecuting Authority to go after his detractors.
“Some even suggest that the president may be using the prosecutorial agencies against those that they perceive as ... what they call my opponents or enemies. It is not within the power of the president and it shouldn’t be within the power of the president to initiate criminal proceedings against anyone,” said Ramaphosa to a round of applause.
“Somehow this notion is embedded in the minds of members here, when they look at me they often say, ‘When are you prosecuting all these people?’ I do not prosecute.”“It is important that I state this so that this notion that is embedded in our heads should begin to melt away,” he said.
