President Cyril Ramaphosa who spent his time campaigning for the ANC in Gauteng has urged motormouth DA John Steenhuisen to refrain from being hogwash and follow procedures when reporting crime.
Instead of going to open the case at the police station, Steenhuisen went to the Union Buildings to hand over evidence of corruption against his deputy Paul Mashatile who previously denied the allegations by the DA in parliament.
Ramaphosa who sees DA’s stunt as political point scoring and hogwash. He said on Saturday if the DA or any party claims to have evidence against Mashatile must report the matter to the police.
Vincent Magwenya, spokesperson for Ramaphosa said the Presidency has noted the statement by the DA at the Union Buildings, during which the party purportedly wanted to hand of a ‘docket’ containing allegations of criminality against Deputy President Paul Mashatile.
“Ordinarily the very first port of call for anyone with evidence of criminal wrongdoing against anyone should be the police, to lay criminal charges. Anyone who uses laying criminal charges as a threat to be activated if they don’t get some or other demanded political concession is obviously acting with a political motive,” said Magwenya.
