Cape Town – Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni has criticised former Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng’s recent comments, saying that he seems to want to rule from the grave.
Mogoeng had, on Thursday, suggested that President Cyril Ramaphosa should have disclosed the donors for his CR17 campaign funding to avoid conflicts of interest.
“The president had the duty to know, who was funding his campaign and to disclose that personal benefit compositely as a benefit from the CR17 campaign,” Mogoeng said while speaking at the inaugural SAfm public lecture.
