South African President Cyril Ramaphosa says his governing party could have done more to halt state corruption, under his predecessor, Joseph Zuma.
Ramaphosa, who was Zuma’s deputy president from 2014 until 2018, acknowledged the party failed to stop Zuma’s abuse of power and misappropriation of resources.
Legislator with the small COPE party, William Madisha, says Ramaphosa is deflecting his personal responsibility for the misappropriation of funds whilst deputy president.
