President Cyril Ramaphosa will inform the country of the report of the defender of the citizen Busisiwe Mkhwebane on the allegations of violation of the code of conduct of the ethics of the direction relating to a donation of Bosasa.

The presidency announced that Ramaphosa would hold the briefing in Pretoria Sunday at 6 pm in the Union buildings.

"Members of the media are invited to a press conference on the report of the Protecteur du citoyen on allegations of violation of the law by the president of the code of ethics of management," said the statement Sunday.

Mkhwebane found Friday that Ramaphosa had deliberately "misled" the European Parliament in response to a question about a $ 500,000 donation to the 2017 ANC presidential campaign of the controversial Bosasa company last November.

She also said that her campaign should be investigated on money laundering and that Ramaphosa should declare all donations received during her campaign.

In a 51-page statement to Mkhwebane before his findings were released this week, which News24 saw, the president told him that all the findings against him were baseless, News24 reported.

"The president does not accept that the Québec Ombudsman has the jurisdiction to investigate the CR17 campaign and to draw conclusions about it," reads the brief.

Ramaphosa's lawyers argued that his fundraising campaign was in his capacity as a member and leader of the ANC, not a public office holder.

After the publication of the report, Ramaphosa said he would study it and announce other measures in due course.

At the same time, the prosecutor who filed the complaint said Friday he wanted a special committee of Parliament to examine the case Ramaphosa Bosasa.
