President Ramaphosa is accused of being a front of businesspersons who funded the CR17 campaign that saw his trounce Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma in the race to lead the ANC.

The Zimbabwean born Dabengwa was one of the key campaign members who fundraised for Ramaphosa and was allegedly rewarded with a board appointment at the country's' power utility company Eskom.



Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane recently said there is merit to allegations that Ramaphosa might have used trusts and complex financial transactions to disguise laundering of more than R440m donated to his ANC presidential campaign.
