It is not correct that President Cyril Ramaphosa sat idly by while he was deputy president and the ANC government veered off course, Minister of Tourism Derek Hanekom said.
While there has been much talk that the administration of former president Jacob Zuma has been a"wasted nine years", Hanekom, one of the senior ANC members who challenged Zuma in cabinet and the ANC NEC, doesn't quite buy that reasoning. "The first sign of it was the almost missionary zeal to get the nuclear deal through. And then, the action against Nene at the time," he said, referring to former finance minister Nhlanhla Nene's dramatic axing as minister of finance in December 2015.Hanekom doesn't try to dodge the question."You are in cabinet when something comes to cabinet and you know it is wrong, you say it is wrong. So you block.
