Ukubhubha kukaWinnie Madikezela-Mandela, ukumangalelwa kowayesakuba ngumongameli uJacob Zuma kunye nenkampani yezixhobo zaseFransi iThomson CSF/Thint/Thales ngobuqhophololo, kunye nabangama-25.th Isikhumbuzo sokugetyengwa kukaChris Hani sidityanisiwe ukuze sibuyisele ihlazo lokuthengisa izixhobo eMzantsi Afrika kwingqwalasela entsha.
Ngokuhambelana nezi ziganeko, ukukhutshwa kwexesha elide kwencwadi ka-Evelyn Groenink Ingenakonakala igxile kuqala ekubeni ingaba inkonzo yaseFransi eyimfihlo yayinoxanduva lokubulala ngo-1989 ummeli we-ANC eParis, uDulcie September. Ngaba uSeptemba uye wakhubeka kwintsebenziswano yaseFransi neyaseMzantsi Afrika ekuphuhliseni izixhobo ze-neutron ezinokuthi zibulale abantu kodwa zishiye iziseko zezoqoqosho zingenamnxeba?
Okanye ngaba amanye amalungu phakathi kwabaselubhacweni be-ANC bebesele bethethathethana ngezivumelwano zexesha elizayo ngezixhobo kunye noThomson CSF? Owayesakuba “ngumcebisi ngezemali” kaZuma uShabir Shaik wafunyanwa enetyala ngo-2005 ngokuququzelela intlawulo kaZuma, waza wagwetywa iminyaka elishumi elinesihlanu entolongweni. I-Thomson CSF yayinerekhodi elide lorhwaphilizo kunye nokubulala, njengoko kwabonakala kwityala lase-Taiwane eligqithisa isivumelwano sezixhobo saseMzantsi Afrika.
UZuma akazange abekwe tyala. Amatyala ali-16 ngoku (kunye nama-783) ngakuZuma okuxhaphaza imali, urhwaphilizo, ubuqhophololo nobuqhophololo, aqala ngo-2018 wela tyala likaShaik elingazange liqhutywe ngenxa yempembelelo yezopolitiko kwi-ANC.
Owayesakuba ligqwetha likaThomson CSF (ngoku eyaziwa ngokuba nguThales), wajika waba ngumpempe, wanikela ubungqina kwiNkundla yaBantu ejongene noLwaphulo-mthetho lwezoQoqosho ngoFebruwari ukuba wayekhaphe kabini uZuma ukuya e-Elysee Palace eParis. UZuma ebesindlekwe apho ngumongameli uJacques Chirac noNicholas Sarkozy, bobabini bebenexhala lokuba uphando loMzantsi Afrika oluchasene nenkampani yaseFransi malurhoxiswe.
Igqwetha, uAjay Sooklal, naye uxelele iNkundla yamaTyala ukuba emva kokuba uZuma etyumbe iKomishoni yoPhando kaSeriti ngo-2011, wafowunela uSooklal ukuze amyalele ukuba angaxeleli iKomishoni ukuba amaFrentshi amhlawula de kube ngu-2009. njengoko wayesazisa amalungu aphezulu e-ANC) wayesele eza kulahlekelwa lityala endambeka ngalo kwiNkundla yoMgaqo-siseko ngo-2010.
Amagqwetha kaZuma awakwazanga ukubuphikisa ubunyani bobungqina obuninzi obuchasene ne-BAE/Saab kunye ne-German Frigate kunye ne-submarine consortia. IKomishoni kaSeriti yabonakalisa ubuqhetseba. Ingxelo yayo eyakhutshwa ngo-2016 yafumanisa ukuba akukho bungqina borhwaphilizo olunxulumene nesivumelwano sezixhobo, kwaye yachithwa ngoko nangoko njengelinye ilinge le-ANC lokufihla. Njengoko uNorman Moabi watyhilayo ngo-2013, uMgwebi uWillie Seriti wayelandela “i-ajenda yesibini yokuvala umlomo uTerry Crawford-Brownes weli hlabathi.”
UZuma ngoku ngumongameli wesibini woMzantsi Afrika osuswe esikhundleni ngenxa yorhwaphilizo olunxulumene nesivumelwano sezixhobo. Umongameli uThabo Mbeki wadizwa ngo2008 njengowafumana isinyobo egameni le submarine Consortium yaseJamani, nalapho wanika uZuma imali ezizigidi ezibini zeerandi kunye neR2 yezigidi zeerandi kwiANC.
UMbeki uye wangenelela kwangoko ngo-1995 egameni likarhulumente waseJamani kunye ne-ThyssenKrupp eyathi, ngokutsho kowayesakuba ngunozakuzaku waseJamani eMzantsi Afrika owaphalaza kum, “babezimisele ngazo zonke iindleko” ukuphumelela izivumelwano zeenqanawe zemfazwe.
Ukubulawa kukaHani ngoAprili 1993 kwaphantse kwayiphazamisa inkqubo yedemokhrasi. Iinjongo zokubulawa kwakhe azikhange ziphandwe ngokwanelisayo, kubandakanywa neKhomishini yeNyaniso noXolelwaniso. Ulwaphulo-mthetho lwatyholwa ngokukhawuleza kwaye lufanelekile kubacalucalulo ababini abamhlophe. Bagwetywe intambo, kodwa izohlwayo zatshintshwa zaba entolongweni ubomi bonke emva kokuba uMzantsi Afrika usibhangisile isohlwayo sokufa.
Uphando lukaGroenink ngokubhubha kukaHani lubonakala lungqina ukunyanzelisa komhlolokazi wakhe uLimpho ukuba umbulali uJanusz Walus wayengeyedwa. Amagosa ezobuntlola aseBritani aqashwe kwindawo yexhwayelo “njengabatshayelayo,” kwaye abaphandi bayalelwa ukuba bangawahoyi amakhonkco kaWalus nomthengisi wezixhobo waseRhodesi uJohn Bredenkamp.
AmaBritane aneenkulungwane zamava kwimisebenzi yeflegi yobuxoki, kubandakanya ukukhulula urhwaphilizo ukutshabalalisa amazwe. ILondon ihlala ilikomkhulu lokurhwaphiliza imali kwihlabathi, njengoko iphinde yaqinisekiswa yiPanama kunye namaphepha eParadesi emva koko.
Abezopolitiko baseYurophu kunye neenkampani zezixhobo ziye zathontelana eMzantsi Afrika emva kowe-1994 ukuya kunika imbeko ngesandla esinye kwinguqulelo yethu enoxolo ukusuka kucalucalulo ukuya kwidemokhrasi yomgaqo-siseko, ngelixa sirhweba ngezixhobo ngamandla. Ngokwaphula umthetho wothintelo lwezixhobo ze-UN ngokuchasene nocalucalulo loMzantsi Afrika, kudala bezilungiselela ukuthengisa izixhobo kurhulumente weANC ilizwe elalingazidingi kwaye lingenako ukuzihlawula.
Kuqikelelwa ukuba ukurhweba ngezixhobo kubangela malunga nama-40 epesenti yorhwaphilizo lwezizwe ngezizwe, kwaye phantsi komthi “wokhuseleko lwesizwe” oorhulumente baseYurophu abanamakhwiniba malunga nokusetyenziswa kwezinyobo ukuze bafumane izivumelwano ngezixhobo kumazwe abizwa ngokuba “lihlabathi lesithathu”. Ngokwenene, amaphepha angama-160 eengxelo ezifungelweyo ezisuka kwi-Ofisi yaseBritani yobuqhophololo obunzulu kunye nooNomadudwane bachaza ukuba kwakutheni kwaye kutheni i-BAE yahlawula izinyobo ze-£115 lezigidi zeerandi ukuze ikhusele iikhontrakthi zayo, apho izinyobo zaye zahlawulwa kwaye zeziphi ii-akhawunti zebhanki eMzantsi Afrika naphesheya kweelwandle ezathi zafakwa ngetyala.
Ezo ngxelo zifungelweyo zokunyoba ze-BAE zityhila uBredenkamp njengomnye wabaxhamli abaphambili. Wayekwadume ngokuba lilungu leMI6. Okona kukhwankqisayo ziingcebiso zokubandakanyeka kwe-ANC kuba uHani kutyholwa ukuba wayesele eza kubhentsisa ubuqhophololo bukaJoe Modise [ngoku ongasekhoyo] kunye nokunxulumana namaBritane. Ukuba uModise kamva ngo-1998 wangenelela egameni le-BAE ngento awayibiza ngokuba “yindlela yakhe yokukhetha engahlawulelwayo kunye nembono” ibhalwe kakuhle.
Ndaqeshwa ngo-1996 ngu-Archbishop Njongonkulu Ndungane ukuba ndimele i-Anglican Church kwi-Palamente ye-Defence Review apho, ngokuhambelana nePhepha leNgcaciso yoMgaqo-nkqubo wezoKhuselo, thina bameli bemibutho yoluntu saxoxa ngelithi ukuthomalaliswa kwentlupheko yeyona nto iphambili kukhuseleko loMzantsi Afrika. Njengoko kwanamajoni avumayo, kwakungekho sisoyikiso somkhosi wangaphandle esasinokucingeleka sokuthethelela inkcitho enkulu kwizixhobo.
Isivumelwano sezixhobo sasicingelwa kubuvuvu bokuba i-R30 yeebhiliyoni echithwe kwizixhobo yayiza kuvelisa i-R110 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi ukuze kudalwe imisebenzi engaphezu kwama-65 000. Xa amalungu ePalamente kunye noMphicothi-zincwadi Jikelele babefuna ukuba kujongwe iikhontrakthi zokupheliswa, bathintelwa ngesizathu esibubuxoki sokuba izivumelwano “ziyimfihlo yezorhwebo.”
Izenzo ezichaseneyo zazidume ngokubi kwaye zidume kumazwe ngamazwe njengobuqhophololo boshishino lwezixhobo, kunye nentsebenziswano yabezopolitiko abarhwaphilizayo, ukurhwebesha abahlawuli berhafu kubo bobabini ababoneleli kunye namazwe abafumanayo. Ngokuqikelelwayo, azizange zenzeke.
UWinnie Madikezela-Mandela wayelilungu leKomiti yoKhuselo yasepalamente. Ngezihlandlo endadibana naye ngazo, ndandingamfumani nje emhle kwaye emhle. Okubaluleke ngakumbi, wayekwayicacisa kakuhle inkxalabo yakhe yokuba inkcitho enjalo yayimele nto ngaphandle kokungcatshwa komzabalazo wokuchasana nocalucalulo ngokubuyela elubhacweni lwe-ANC. Emva kokusweleka kwakhe, u-Archbishop Desmond Tutu wathi kwimbeko yakhe kuye:
“Walile ukuthotywa kukuvalelwa komyeni wakhe, ukungcungcuthekiswa ngokungapheliyo kosapho lwakhe ngoonogada, ukuvalelwa, ukuvalwa umlomo nokugxothwa. Ukuchasa kwakhe ngenkalipho kwandikhuthaza kakhulu, nakwizizukulwana zamatshantliziyo.”
Ndaxelelwa ngo-1998 ukuba iBAE yayifunxa izinyobo kumalungu e-ANC epalamente phambi konyulo luka-1999, kwaye yayikwenza oko ngeemanyano zabasebenzi ezimbini zaseSweden. Ndacela urhulumente waseBritani ukuba enze uphando, yaye iScotland Yard yayalelwa ukuba yenjenjalo. Ekuhambeni kwexesha ndafunda ukuba [ngoko] kwakungekho mthethweni kumthetho wamaNgesi ukunyoba abantu basemzini, yaye ke ngoko kwakungekho lwaphulo-mthetho ukuba iSkotlani Yard iphande. Yaye eJamani ezo zinyobo zazide zitsalwe nerhafu “njengeendleko eziluncedo zeshishini.”
Njengoko uAndrew Feinstein wabhala kwincwadi yakhe Emva kweParty, uTrevor Manuel akaphelelanga nje ekubeni amcinezele ukuba ayeke uphando lweSCOPA kwisivumelwano sezixhobo, kodwa wathi:
“Sonke siyamazi uJM [njengoko uJoe Modise wayesaziwa njalo]. Kungenzeka ukuba kwakukho i-shit kwisivumelwano. Kodwa ukuba bekukho, akukho mntu unokuze ayityhile. Abaziziyatha ngolo hlobo. Yiyeke nje ixoke. Gxininisa kwizinto zobugcisa, ezazivakala.' Ndiphendule ngelithi kukho iingxaki nakwimiba yobugcisa, ndaza ndalumkisa ngelithi ukuba aside sifikelele emazantsi esivumelwano ngoku, iya kubuya isiphathe kakubi – uluvo endaluvakalisa ndiphindelela ngaphakathi kwi-ANC.
Elinye ilungu eliphezulu le-NEC ye-ANC landimemela endlwini yalo ngenye iCawe. Ndihleli phandle libalele, wandicacisela ukuba andisoze ndiyiphumelele le nto.
'Ngoba kutheni?' Ndabuza.
Kuba sifumene imali kwezinye zeenkampani eziphumeleleyo. Ucinga ukuba saluxhasa njani unyulo luka-1999?”
Owayesakuba litsha-ntliziyo elichasene nocalucalulo (ngoku eyiNkosi) uPeter Hain wandikhanyela ngamandla ngokubini ngokuthetha nangokubhala ukuba kukho nabuphi na ubungqina borhwaphilizo lwe-BAE. Ngokukhawuleza ukuya ku-2010 xa i-Swedish TV 4 yatyhila ukuba umfelandawonye wabasebenzi owaququzelela ukudluliselwa kwezo zinyobo wayenyulwe njengenkokeli ye-Social Democratic Party. Ngoku uyinkulumbuso yaseSweden, uStefan Lövren.
Phambi kolonyulo luka-1999, oosomashishini be-ANC ababesebenza noMandela bandiqhagamshelana nam. Umphathi wabo wathi kum:
“Siza kuxela olona rhwaphilizo lukhoyo malunga nesivumelwano sezixhobo. UJoe Modise kunye neenkokeli zoMkhonto-weSizwe babona isivumelwano sezixhobo kunye nezinye iikhontrakthi zikarhulumente njengethuba lokuthatha indawo ye-Oppenheimers njengendawo entsha yemali. Isivumelwano sezixhobo sisincopho nje somkhenkce esikwachaphazela izivumelwano ze-oyile, inkqubo yokwenziwa ngokutsha kweeteksi, iindlela ezirhafelwayo, iimpepha-mvume zokuqhuba, iCell C, uphuhliso lwezibuko laseCoega, ukuthutyeleziswa kwedayimani neziyobisi ngokungekho mthethweni, ukuthutyeleziswa kwezixhobo kunye nokuthutyeleziswa kwemali ngokungekho mthethweni. Eyona nto ixhaphakileyo kukukhabela i-ANC njengembuyekezo yokhuseleko lwezopolitiko.”
Ngokunjalo, ndiye ndamazisa uArchbishop Ndungane ngale ncoko. Umemelele ikomishoni yophando ngezityholo, kwaye wavuma neengcebiso zokuba ukufunyanwa kwezixhobo zemfazwe kunqunyanyiswe. Wathi uMbeki, ngoku obekwe njengoMongameli, ekhaba isiphakamiso sikaNdungane, ndazisa abo basebenzi bobuntlola beANC kuPatricia de Lille, owayelilungu lePalamente yePan Africanist Congress.
Isivumelwano sezixhobo kutyholwa ngokuba yimbuyekezo kaModise waseMbeki ngokususa uHani kungquzulwano njengongena ezihlangwini zikaNelson Mandela njengomongameli welizwe. UMbeki wonakele kwaye ethe phithi ngamandla, nto leyo yamdibanisa noWinnie Mandela owala ukuthobela imiyalelo yakhe. Naye, wamchaza “njengongaqeqeshekanga!”
Phantsi kobongameli bukaMbeki, iPalamente yakhawuleza yajika yaba sisitampu serabha. Emva kokuthatha ingqondo kumazwe angoozwilakhe ukuba iofisi yoluntu ibonelela “ngexesha labo lokutya,” abagxothwa be-ANC batshabalalisa ngokucwangcisiweyo iitshekhi kunye neebhalansi ezenziwe ngononophelo kuMgaqo-siseko.
Iziphumo kwiinyanga ezimbalwa emva koko yaba kukukhululwa “kweMemorandam eya kuPatricia de Lille MP 'kumaLungu ePalamente axhalabileyo e-ANC” (ababizwa ngokuba nguDe Lille Dossier). Igrama edityaniswe ngamabom kunye nopelo kufihla imvelaphi yayo. Ingxokozelo eyalandelayo yayityhila ngokwenene, kwaye isoyikisa. Igosa likaMbeki kwiingxoxo kuthethwano ngezixhobo, uJayendra Naidoo uye wandicela umngeni ukuba ndiyibhalile kusini na. Njengoko ndandicinga ngendlela yokumphendula, waqhubeka: “Hayi, ngokucacileyo ibhalwe ngumntu oqhelene ngakumbi ne-AK-47 kunosiba!”
I-ANC isungule iphulo lokuzingela “amaLungu ePalamente axhalabileyo eANC”. UDe Lille wafumana izigrogriso zokubulawa, ngelixa u-Archbishop Ndungane kunye nam sanyanzelwa ukuba siveze iinkcukacha zabo. Salile. UDe Lille kunye nam ngoNovemba ka-1999 sabhengeza ukuba ubungqina borhwaphilizo sibudlulisele kuJaji Willem Heath ukuze abuphonononge. UDe Lille ebedume ngokunxiba ihempe kukuvulwa okulandelayo kwePalamente echaza ukuba "isivumelwano sezixhobo siphumile ezandleni zam."
Isigqibo sethu samkelwa yimibutho yoluntu ethathe inxaxheba kuPhononongo lwezoKhuselo, kunye neBhunga leeNkonzo zoMzantsi Afrika kunye neNkomfa yooBhishophu bamaKatolika yoMzantsi Afrika. Sikwabhengeze ukuba siza kuwaveza kuphela amagama kwikomishoni yophando eyenziwe ngokufanelekileyo.
Uphononongo lokufikeleleka kweshishini lezixhobo ngo-Agasti 1999 lwalumkisa abaphathiswa beKhabhinethi ukuba isivumelwano sezixhobo sisindululo esingakhathaliyo esinokukhokelela urhulumente ekunyukeni “kubunzima kwezemali, kwezemali noqoqosho.” Uphononongo luphawule utshintshiselwano lwamazwe angaphandle kunye neminye imingcipheko, kubandakanywa ukungaziswa kwezibophelelo zokulinganisa, kwaye kwandululwa ukuba izivumelwano zenqwelomoya zokulwa ze-BAE/Saab Gripen kufuneka zirhoxiswe, okanye ubuncinane zirhoxiswe.
UMzantsi Afrika ngelo xesha wawusathatha kwa-Israel iinqwelomoya zokulwa ezingama-50, ezathi kamva zathengiswa ngamaxabiso omlilo e-Ecuador nakwamanye amazwe aseLatin America. Ngokucacileyo akukho sizathu sivakalayo se-BAE/Saab nezinye izinto ezithengiweyo. Zazithengwa nje ngenxa yezinyobo.
Indibaniselwano ye-BAE Hawk kunye ne-BAE/Saab Gripen ikhontrakthi ibalele ngaphezu kwesiqingatha sesivumelwano sezixhobo. Izivumelwano zemali-mboleko zeBarclays zeBhanki yeminyaka engama-20 ezisayinwe nguManuel zaqinisekiswa ngurhulumente waseBhritane zinokuchazwa “njengomzekelo wencwadi ebonisa ukuba netyala lehlabathi lesithathu.” Urhulumente waseBritane ubambe “isabelo segolide” esilawulayo kwi-BAE.
Ekuqinisekiseni ezo zivumelwano zemali-mboleko kum nezifunyenwe eLondon njengeziyinyani, umcebisi wezomthetho kaManuel ngo-2003 wavuma ukuba amagatya abo okusilela “kunokuba yintlekele kuMzantsi Afrika.” Xa kuthelekiswa, ikhontrakthi ephantsi ye-Thomson CSF apho uZuma noThales ngoku ekugqibeleni bazakujongana nezityholo zorhwaphilizo ibe ngumboniso osecaleni.
Andizange ndiphinde ndidibane noMandela de kwangonyaka ka-2011 xa ndammema ukuba aye kunika ubungqina kwiNkundla kaRussell yasePalestine eKapa ngamava akhe okuphila kuMzantsi Afrika wocalucalulo. Ngelo xesha ndandigxekwa kanobom kumajelo eendaba, kodwa akukho namnye eMzantsi Afrika owayefaneleke bhetele kunaye ukuchaza izenzo zolwaphulo-mthetho zocalucalulo. Ngelishwa kuye kwafuneka ukuba arhoxe ngenxa yezizathu zempilo, ndiye ndafaka endaweni kaGqr Allan Boesak.
Yayingoo”inziles” ababethwele umzabalazo wokuchasana nocalucalulo ngeminyaka yoo-1980 – uWinnie Mandela, uTutu, uBoesak ngokukodwa – ngeli lixa abo baselubhacweni be-ANC eLusaka nakwezinye iindawo babesalele bephupha ngendlela yokuphanga uMzantsi Afrika bakuba bengenile kulawulo.
Enye yezona mpazamo zimbi kakhulu ezenziweyo emva ko-1990 yayikukuba i-United Democratic Front (eyayifudula iphantsi kwaye ilawulwa ngokwentando yesininzi) yavuma ukuchithwa xa i-ANC eyayiselubhacweni (eyayiphezulu-phantsi kwaye inguzwilakhe) ingavalwanga.
Ndigrogriswa nguJaji uSeriti ngokudelelwa, ndatyhila ngokuthandabuza kwiKomishoni yaseSeriti ngo-2014 ukuba uWinnie Mandela wayeyinkokeli yaloo “maLungu ePalamente axhalabileyo eANC.” Ngokuqikelelwayo, isithethi se-ANC sandigxeka “njengexoki le-pathological”. Enyanisweni, uMandela kwangaloo mvakwemini waqinisekisa ubunyani bokudiza kwam kwincoko yomnxeba noDe Lille.
I-“De Lille Dossier” iye yakhokelela ekubeni iPalamente ivotele ngamxhelo-mnye ngoNovemba ka-2000 kuphando olubanzi malunga nesivumelwano sezixhobo, nokwathi umongameli waseMbeki wasuka wakhawulezisa ukujongela phantsi nokutshabalalisa. Ingxelo yeQela loPhando eliHlangeneyo “lokucakwa” (i-JIT) - ngeli lixa liqinisekisa ukuba isivumelwano ngasinye sesivumelwano sezixhobo sasineziphene ezinxamnye nezitenxo zethenda - okona kumangalisayo kuye kwayikhulula iKhabhinethi kuyo nayiphi na into engalunganga.
Kwiiveki ezintandathu phambi kokuba loo ngxelo ithiwe thaca ePalamente, ndaye ndachazelwa ngoosomashishini beANC ukuba uModise wayetyhefelwa ngabom kodwa kancinane ukuze “abantu abaswelekileyo bangabali iintsomi.” Ndothuswa kukuba uModise waye wasweleka ehleli nje ehleli nje.
Umngcwabo kaModise, mhlawumbi, ungqamane nalowo wowayesakuba nguMongameli uFW de Klerk, uMarike, naye owabulawayo. Ngenxa yobuchule bakhe bokwenza intetho yezopolitiko, uMandela wakhetha ukunyelisa uModise – awayemgxeka ngokubhubha kukaHani – kwaye endaweni yoko kwangaloo mvakwemini waya kumngcwabo kaMarike de Klerk.
Njengengxwelerha yemfazwe, uMandela ngokungathandabuzekiyo wonakaliswa kakhulu ngamava akhe ekuchaseni ucalucalulo ngenkalipho, kuquka nentuthumbo awayifumanayo. Ubukrwada kunye nenkohlakalo yeemfazwe zinefuthe kubo bobabini abenzi bobubi kunye namaxhoba, kwaye kungathatha izizukulwana ukuba ziphole. Umonakalo owenziwe sisivumelwano sezixhobo kwidemokhrasi yomgaqo-siseko efunyenwe nzima eMzantsi Afrika ube mkhulu kakhulu.
Owayesakuba yiNkulumbuso yase-Bhritane uTony Blair uye wacudisa uphando lwe-Ofisi yobuqhophololo yaseBritane malunga nentlawulo ye-BAE yezinyobo kwiinkosana zase-Saudi Arabia ngesingxengxezo sobuxoki “sokhuseleko lwesizwe,” kodwa i-BAE emva koko yahlawuliswa i-US$479 yezigidi ngabasemagunyeni base-US. I-BAE ngoku isebenzisana neSaudis ekwenzeni ulwaphulo-mthetho lwemfazwe eYemen.
Ukuba umoya omtsha wezopolitiko ozinikele ekupheliseni urhwaphilizo ekugqibeleni unokuvela phantsi koMongameli uCyril Ramaphosa, ukucinywa kwezo zivumelwano zobuqhophololo zeBAE (kunye nokufunyanwa kweemali kunye nomonakalo omkhulu kakhulu) kuya kubonisa ukuba ngenene uzimisele. Kwesi sigqibo, eso sigqibo siyakubulela kwaye sihloniphe igalelo elikhulu elenziwe nguWinnie Madikezela-Mandela ekubhentsiseni ihlazo lokuthengiswa kwezixhobo.
Ayipheleli nje ekubeni akukho myalelo wobuqhophololo, kodwa isivumelwano sezixhobo sibonakalise umgaqo osemthethweni othi “ubuqhophololo butyhila yonke into!”
