Two Economic Freedom Fighter (EFF) Members of Parliament have resigned from the National Assembly and the leadership of the party following the leaked CR17 leaked bank statements on Sunday.
Tebogo Mokwele and Nkakisang Mokgosi took to social media on Monday to talk about their decisions.
The duo admits to have received R 80 000 from President Cyril Ramaphosa for their personal gain.
“I resigned because of the code of conduct of my organisation. I resigned because I don’t want to drag my organisation into disrepute. I do not want my organisation to go around instead of them serving the people of South Africa, go around your media house to explain personal things. I did it because I wanted to do it, it’s not because somebody forced me to do it,” says Mokwele.
However, she has insisted that she has no relations with Ramaphosa.
“Me and the President of the country we don’t have anything personal, we don’t have any relationship. By that time he was the deputy president, this time he’s the President of the country, other than that there is nothing between us. So I’m not obliged to give favours in return for the services that he assisted me with.”
