If he should investigate his own ministers, it means that there is no need for policemen or criminal investigators.Ramaphosa says anyone who has information about anyone - a Cabinet or whoever - must come forward and put information to law enforcement agencies to investigate.Ramaphosa says in the end the process of investigation involves agencies that are well adept and capacitated to investigate.

Anyone with evidence, should provide that information to the relevant authorities, so a thorough investigation of credible allegations can be conducted.Ramaphosa says: We are not sleeping on the job.
