Money laundering, lies & deceit: Mkhwebane's key findings against Ramaphosa
Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane released the findings of her report at a briefing in Pretoria on Friday.
The donation has become a major thorn in President Cyril Ramaphosa's side, with those who managed his campaign insisting he had no idea about the money.
DA leader Mmusi Maimane filed the application to have the President Ramaphosa's declaration of interests disclosed after it emerged that the president’s son Andile Ramaphosa had business ties to a company which did business with Eskom.
Andile Ramaphosa revealed this week that he is a former business partner of Jianbao Chen, the chairman of a Chinese company Huarong Energy Africa.
It appeared the move may be an attempt to come clean after he recently admitted to receiving R2 million in a deal with the company formerly known as Bosasa.
Last week, President Cyril Ramaphosa's son admitted that Bosasa paid his company Blue Crane Capital the money as part of a business deal, which he now regrets.
DA leader Mmusi Maimane has capitalised on recent revelations that President Ramaphosa’s son, Andile, received around R2 million in business from Bosasa.
DA leader Mmusi told supporters at a rally in Kimberley that Ramaphosa’s son was just like former president Jacob Zuma’s son, Duduzane because they both benefited from being part of the inner circle.
The president has always maintained that there was never a corrupt relationship between him, his son and Bosasa after the company donated R500,000 towards his ANC presidential campaign in 2017.
President Cyril Ramaphosa was once again thrust into the Bosasa spotlight this week after his son reportedly admitted to receiving a R2 million fee for work his company did.
Bosasa has been front and centre at the state capture commission, with high ranking leaders of the company admitting to paying bribes for tenders.
The Presidency says that this was to ensure that the donors would not expect any sort of favours if and when Cyril Ramaphosa was elected as president.

The Presidency has issued a statement that says it has 'noted several media reports and commentary on testimony before the Zondo Commission on Tuesday that conflate a number of separate issues."
Former Bosasa auditor Peet Venter has told the Zondo Commission of Inquiry into state capture that he paid R500,000 into a trust belonging to the Andile Ramaphosa's foundation.
Democratic Alliance (DA) leader Mmusi Maimane has called on President Cyril Ramaphosa to appear before the state capture commission.
The president's son has told News24 that, in hindsight, due diligence was not sufficiently carried out by his company Blue Crane Capital in retrospect of his father’s role going into the presidency.
The president says he has nothing to hide and that the Public Protector has all the information including the value of his son’s contract for work done outside the country.
Democratic Alliance leader Mmusi Maimane says he was provided with a copy of Andile Ramaphosa’s contract with African Global Operations.
