Henry McCarter at the Sandton Police Station 17th April 2021.
President Cyril Ramaphosa and several ANC leaders may face another legal battle. This follows the filing of criminal charges against him at the Sandton Police Station yesterday.
In April 2021, while serving as the ANC’s deputy president, Ramaphosa allegedly “persuaded” the Free State Department of Education to award a contract to Shanduka for building schools in the Free State.
The tender was not advertised, and no bidding process was administered. Shanduka completed the construction of two schools within one year.
ANC Secretary-General Ace Magashule was the Premier of the Free State at the time. Magashule’s office directed inquiries to the Free State MEC for Education.
The Free State Department of Education had not responded to The Star’s questions by the time of publication.
According to documents reviewed by The Star, the initial invoice paid amounted to R41 million.
Henry McCarter and the group also initiated a case involving charges of racketeering, money laundering, and treason against Ramaphosa, accusing him of colluding with apartheid leaders in embezzling funds from the South African government. Read Dr. Stephen Goodson’s (a shareholder and director of the Reserve Bank) account wherein he provided evidence of the heist of 3000 tonnes of gold and US$200 billion from the Reserve Bank.
“Prison is Ramaphosa’s ultimate destination if the law takes its course. The situation was created over many decades by a lawless group of individuals who meticulously planned the corruption we witness today. We possess the evidence, and we hope the police will not be influenced by politics,” Fondse said.
A police officer at the Sandton Police Station referred The Star to his superior, who then directed the paper to the provincial police communications officer.
Police spokesperson Lieutenant Kay Makhubele declined to comment on the case and referred The Star to the Hawks.
Presidential spokesperson Tyrone Seale was not available for comment.
