South Africa President Seeks Review of Graft Watchdog Report

I am taking this action to protect the integrity of the office I occupy - President Cyril Ramaphosa

President Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa, pledges to seek an urgent judicial review of what he described as an irretrievably flawed report in which the country's anti-corruption watchdog said he misled parliament over a donation of 500,000 rand ($35,900) he received for his 2017 election campaign.

Ramaphosa asserted that the findings of the report were not rational or factual and did not arrive through a fair and impartial process.

However, Public Protector, Busisiwe Mkhwebane has refuted the president's assertions as he plans to seek a judicial review of the report, it's conclusions and remedial actions it recommended.
