Manyi attempts to clarify his Fica bill ‘bankrupt’ comment
Earlier this year, Mzwanele Manyi said the bill would ‘bankrupt’ the ANC; now he says he and the deputy president are actually ‘in agreement’ on the issue
On Thursday, Mzwanele Manyi, the president of controversial lobby group Progressive Professionals Forum (PPF), sought to clarify what he meant when he said the Financial Intelligence Centre Amendment (Fica) Bill would "bankrupt" the ruling party. Manyi’s statement, made earlier this year, prompted Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa to distance the party from it on Wednesday. Speaking to journalists in Johannesburg on Thursday, Manyi claimed he and Ramaphosa were actually in agreement on the issue, but were speaking in different contexts — however, he did not go into detail about the context within which he was speaking when he made the comment.
