"The reason that my party, which has been an opposition party, chose to join hands with Ramaphosa's party was precisely to keep those people out of power. We cannot have those people sitting at the Union Buildings and making decisions, he said.
Manyi claimed this was abuse of office because Steenhuisen used his cabinet position to articulate the DAs interests. He also accused Ramaphosa of being complicit.
Kindly be advised that the Public Protector has considered your submissions and will proceed to investigate your allegations in connection with abuse of power and/or improper conduct and breaches of clauses 2.1a, 2.1b, 2.1c and 2.3f of the Executive Ethics Code by Mr MC Ramaphosa, President of the Republic of South Africa, Pillay wrote in her letter to Manyi.
