Cyril Ramaphosa gets another case opened against him

President Cyril Ramaphosa seems to be having a bad year as cases against him are pulling up. We can’t help but wonder if it’s pure sabotage or if the President has been up to no good.

It came as a surprise to learn that a charge of theft has been laid against President Cyril Ramaphosa. This has been reportedly done by a businessman with some serious claims. He is claiming that his energy plan presented to the head of state was stolen and used without his involvement.

The case of theft, which has been confirmed was opened at the Brixton police station in Johannesburg last month.

The only confirmation however is that the case of “theft” has been registered. No further comment was made.

“The SAPS confirms that a case of theft has been registered at the Booysens police station on September 28,” Mathe said.

The Sunday Independent reported that businessman, Reuben Sekwele, opened a criminal case against Ramaphosa for allegedly stealing his intellectual property.

Sekwele, CEO of Rubbytad Group, an independent power producer, told the publication he thinks Ramaphosa stole his business plan and used it as part of the national energy plan.

The businessman claims he delivered his business plan by hand to Ramaphosa in 2018.

Ramaphosa’s spokesperson said to TimesLIVE that the presidency would let the police investigation run its course.

Earlier this year former spy boss and prisons commissioner Arthur Fraser opened a case of money laundering, kidnapping, and corruption against Ramaphosa. This was for the theft of hundreds of thousands of US dollars at his Phala Phala home in 2020.

Cyril Ramaphosa Phala Phala investigations

The office of the public protector is investigating accusations of an attempt that has been made to hide the Phala Phala theft. The alleged culprits are said to have been paid to keep their mouths shut.

According to the SundayTimes Ramaphosa has told the public protector where to get off. He said that she has no jurisdiction to look into the Phala Phala case.

If the public protector makes an unfavorable finding against the president, it would put his political future at risk.

The ANC’s national elective conference is taking place in December.
