The latest criminal case opened against President Cyril Ramaphosa by the leader of civil rights organisation Really Democracy involves his brother-in-law and business mogul, Patrice Motsepe.

The case is one of two opened against Ramaphosa in KwaZulu-Natal on Saturday by Srinivasen Naidoo of Really Democracy.Naidoo claimed he became aware of a cattle auction by Ramaphosa on March 5 where Motsepe paid R4.7m for four Ankole female cows. He allegedly bought one of them for R2.1m.Naidoo said the sale was “suspicious” and claims this sale was not for cattle but for “favours” as Motsepe is a businessman involved in mining and energy and is in business with the government.

“The Ankole cattle are rare and have a high breeding value but the price paid in this particular transaction is particularly high and makes no economic sense. “The suspicion is that the sale of the cattle is being used to pay bribes and kickbacks for favourable government contracts and easing of regulations in the mining and energy, banking and other sectors in which Motsepe is involved,” said Naidoo.

Naidoo wants police to check the financial records between the Ramaphosa and Motsepe families, saying they should probe whether there is fraud, corruption, racketeering, bribery or any other economic crimes involved. Another auction was held at Ramaphosa's Phala Phala farm in Limpopo on Saturday. At that auction, the highest bid was for an Ankole bull which sold for R1.65m.

Sailing very close to the wind it seems. Dare devils.

All runs in the family all corrupt criminals

This copycat charges r now turning this whole saga into a circus. Next,someone will lay a charge to say the cow poop r secret weapons of mass destruction.

The media covers the wrong issues. Why is no one in the media concerned about the school teacher in Umlazi that voted 24 times in the last election and got a suspended sentence. How deep is this cookery running. Can we still trust the IEC

Peterman43 There's 2 obvious reasons why Ramaphosa can laugh at the fact that he's been caught money laundering, violating S96 of the Const & tax evasion. 1, these RETards laying 'criminal' charges are thicker than a sewer of shit. 2, the crim justice has been properly fucked by the cadre.

Eishhhhh lol

My heart ❤ two great entrepreneurs. A sad tragedy.
