Cold feet SCOPA?

MbalulaFikile Uyabuvuyela ubuvuvu kodwa mpathiswa you are so happy because your boss is not going to account for misusing the public funds herrrrr sisemasimbeni ke mos ubakunje

Ima whooo kanti what's going on? His suppose to be held accountable, what happened to checks and balances? Like really !!!

This President is above the law the entire system has been rigged and worse the judicial is sealed on those bankstatement

Why

Who ever went to jail, like really really... All that these African leaders are doing is what the colonialist and later Apartheid government did to SA... They are the product of their oppressors

Self mutilation by the ANC, whatever they hope to achieve.

Louder, one of the good day me n ur kids will be roaming all over the streets doing nothing because of ur behavior of treating ramaphosa like as if he's the messiah and our savior.

You are misleading the public Scopa wrote to Ramaphosa to respond in writing within 10 days be care what you broadcast

Of course.

Selective honesty is a manipulation tool get used by the dishonest public leaders. Lack of clarity would also make thinkers not to take feedback from reality, to lie to the society. TOL, I am just being born to be brutal honest for my Afrikan consciousness people

That's what we expect from news agencies that issues daily covid-19 numbers that are cooked somewhere.

Uwhoa🙆🏿‍♂️... everything is fucked up! Why is Cyril untouchable na

1. SCOPA has to summon the president and provide a report to the national assembly, otherwise they will lose their credibility. 2. If there is misconduct or any form of violation in the report, the national assembly must take Section 89 & Section 102 into account.

Yhoo this article it's soo useless.

I know we all probably must have heard about Bitcoin but don't know how it works, I tried it in a week ago by a man who recommended me to Leticia_thomas7 on Twitter She guides me through and i made a return of R15500 after a week of trading, connect with her

Mhhhh mzwaimbeje.....what nonsense is this?

At close range the headline is skewed

Impunity

So it's not just Arena Holdings (SundayTimesZA, TimesLIVE, etc) thibing ka dibono for Ramaphosa, SABC is also unashamed reporting propaganda. Ramaphosa has been asked to respond in writing

MbalulaFikile MbalulaFikile retreating this is a surprise Minister

Would it not be funny if what he is withholding is how Mr Dick’s faction misused state funds during their election campaign. He will be throwing his own comrades under the bus.

And that makes you happy as SABC.

And SAns are expected to accept Cyril for a second term as from stratcom and his faction want otherwise the RAND will collapse. There will be no countability at all in this if SCOPA is another political tool reserved for unwanted opponents .

There was just too much excitement in Nkandla over this.

Ok

‘Summons will be last resort’… people comment without read the article.

How I wish someone could link that letter to the public domain!

Continue trying to protect Ramaphosa

MbalulaFikile Now the state capture is happening everywhere,everyday the useless mfana president can never brought to book to account lelizwe sekuyihlathi elimnyama elibuswa onontandakubukwa abanjengo mbalula “lafa elihle kakhulu.” !!!!!!

MbalulaFikile Our three arms of the state are captured now we need state capture commission more than the past good 9 years.

MbalulaFikile Is this still our national broadcaster or ramaphosa’s tool to implement or impose his dictatorship style or stance on the South Africans wake up SA Hitler is in the area.

The article attached says nothing. Not even a reason why he should not appear before SCOPA. Poor journalism or factional journalism this. I suspect the latter. Please go and find out more info and come with somethings tangible.

Well a captured media personnel always write ✍️ like yhis

🚮🚮🚮🚮

MbalulaFikile We all watched the decision on TV yesterday, put the full decision not a portion

KhanyaMsika I told you they changing their stand now

Your headlines are Very Misleading and You Know it.

But this is poor reporting we are merely told that summoning the President should be a last resort we are not told of what would be done to attend to the issue.

MkhulekoHlengwa is it true Musani ukudlala ngathi nina.

But wena you protect Jacob Zuma even though he is guilty

That's wise decision..... ANC must appear before ANC committee Klaar not our State President.

FAKE NEWS

The u turn

SABCCCCCCCCC😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The head of state landed himself in hot water 4repeated falsehoods. Smooth tongues are not rare within the ANC. As lady karma wud have it, they're all getting NAILED eventually. We expect the media 2embrace this lesson & refrain from deliberately penning DECEPTIVE headlines.

I never trusted MkhulekoHlengwa to can carry Scopa on his shoulders and to push for punishment to those who are found guilty of misusing public funds, maybe he’s in the pockets of the elites as well. Our parliament is just a parliament by name, the level of degeneration is high

Your headline and what's on the article🙆‍♂️🙆‍♂️🙆‍♂️..

You guys mislead the public daylight ?✍️

You are fake news

Animal farm. Politicians, foreigners are never held accountable, only law abiding citizens. Can 2024 be here already.

So they will jail him like they did to Zuma?

Misleading headline. SCOPA has directed that Ramaphosa within 10 days MUST submit a written response to a list of questions. The Legal advice to SCOPA was that summoning should be a last resort measure. You can't have a headline that suggests that Ramaphosa has nothing to answer.

As expected

So they summone him on illegal obtained information...wtf

State captured

MbalulaFikile Why not, why all the back 'n fro? How will you determine the truth exactly without hearing it from the horse's mouth itself? Hayi this parliament clearly not serving us

MbalulaFikile PR or😬🙆🏿

Your headline suggest this is a WIN for Ramaphosa. Report properly that he'll be given between 7-10 days to supply a written statement abt what said on that clip, failing which he'll be summoned to appear b4 Scopa. Eventually he'll appear b4 Scopa to explain himself. Live with it

I thought you'll give me a valid reason why Scopa decided not to summon Ramaphosa to explain this issue to us South Africans

If that's the case then it's clear the state capture phenomenon is as its peak. What happened to the Trias Politica? The legislature is no longer autonomous its controlled by the Executive just like he is controling the Judiciary.

under the dictatorship of you know who 🇿🇦
