Renowned broadcaster Sol Phenduka has reacted to the revelation that President Cyril Ramaphosa frequents Hangwani Maumela, who was recently raided by the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) in connection with the R2 billion Tembisa Hospital scandal.

The revelation that President Ramaphosa frequents Maumela’s Sandton home came days after he explained his relationship with the alleged leader of one of the syndicates that looted Tembisa Hospital. Ramaphosa’s claim that his visit to Maumela’s home was a chance encounter and one-off meeting got the side-eye from several South Africans, including Gareth Cliff.

It turns out Ramaphosa visited Maumela’s home more than once, and Sol Phenduka weighed in on the revelation.

@ratone_tsiepe cautioned:

“You trust this publication at your own peril. They lied about 9 babies. Where are the babies?”

@iamziyar asked:

“Everyone knows that he is related to the president; he has never denied that, so what's the problem with him visiting a relative? Did he take an oath never to visit any of his relatives, or is there a law that says when a relative is accused of a crime, he can't be visited?”

@LiraMgl suggested:

“😂There's no picture/video proof, he can doja this one. 😂”

@Thapelo20148801 implied:

“At least he won’t know which neighbour said that, cause if he finds out the neighbour will follow what ANC does to whistleblowers.”
