Question NW2273 to the President of the Republic
11 November 2016 - NW2273
Steenhuisen, Mr JH to ask the President of the Republic
Did he ever visit the estate of a certain family (name and details furnished) at the same time as certain other persons (names furnished) were present; if so, in each case, what was the reason for the visit?
Reply:
The questions asked form part of the subject matter of the Report into Allegations of improper and unethical conduct by the President and other state functionaries on matters relating to the removal and appointment of Ministers and Executives of State Owned Enterprises. It is clear from the remedial action to be taken that the Report is inconclusive. After the report was released, I have since indicated that I am giving consideration to the contents of the report in order to ascertain whether it should be a subject of a court challenge. I therefore cannot answer these questions as they form part of the said report.
