READ| Pityana defends Ramatlhodi after spy allegations

Zuma accused Ramatlhodi of being an apartheid spy in the 1980’s and told the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture that he was recruited as a spy when he was a student in Lesotho.

Pityana said Zuma should have opposed Ramatlhodi’s African National Congress leadership position at the appropriate time if he believed he was a spy. Ramatlhodi previously told the Commission about Zuma’s supposedly toxic relationship with the Gupta’s and how he had auctioned off the country to the controversial family.He says, “Ngoako Ramatlhodi I’ve known him since the time when he was in Lesotho – where Zuma says he was recruited to be a spy. I have looked at his career progression in the liberation movement throughout that period when Zuma says he was the head of intelligence.

“What I am saying is the President, who was in the leadership structure of the ANC throughout that time, had the opportunity to object at that time that someone who was a spy, shouldn’t be put in those positions. It’s a cop-out,” he adds.
