Billionaire mining magnate Patrice Motsepe cut a cautious figure on Saturday, avoiding definitive comments about funding the ANC during the height of state capture and his relationship with brother-in-law President Cyril Ramaphosa. | Fin24

"I don’t like doing business with government. I have never liked it and its even worse now, now that you’ve got relatives in government. It is an absolute… headache," he said at the SA National Editors Forum annual general meeting.

During his address on Saturday Motsepe praised the State Capture Inquiry, which this week found that former president Jacob Zuma"permitted, supported and enabled corruption and state capture”, and questioned whether this could have been arrested had Ramaphosa"acted with more urgency"."The Zondo Commission is critically important. You cannot be party to the commission of crime or corruption and get away with it," Motsepe said.

Motsepe said business people had an obligation to express their opinions but needed to ensure that"at all times we behave and say the sort of things in the public domain that are in line with the problems and difficulties that ordinary South Africans experience."

Fin24 Yes, he may hate it, but at leat he can. Once got into a court case where ARM and others were applicants against a municipality, before signing the affidavit ARM pulled out, their board (Patrice) didn’t want to be seen in litigation with government. It’s all a facade.
