Cyril dodges jammer questions

Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa and State Security Minister David Mahlobo on Wednesday refused to come clean about the jamming of electronic communication at President Jacob Zuma's State of the Nation address two weeks ago.

It has been claimed that the signal jammer was switched off after Ramaphosa sent Mahlobo a note. Mahlobo has since agreed that intelligence services were responsible for wrongly jamming the signal, but the exact events and the content of the note remain a secret.

Opposition parties tried to probe the issue yesterday but Ramaphosa and Mahlobo said that while they wanted to provide answers they could not do so because the issue was before the courts.

Their view, which they claimed was founded on legal advice, was challenged by the DA, EFF, UDM and FF Plus.

DA parliamentary leader Mmusi Maimane asked Ramaphosa when he, as leader of government business, was made aware of the intended use of signal jammers.

Ramaphosa said he would answer questions as soon as the court cases had been concluded.

DA chief whip John Steenhuisen said Ramaphosa was hiding behind the sub judice rule, and UDM leader Bantu Holomisa asked Ramaphosa directly whether he intervened with Mahlobo on the matter of the jammer.

He also asked Ramaphosa not to run away from the question, to which Ramaphosa said he took exception.

DA MP David Maynier asked Mahlobo whether he would take responsibility for the illegal use of the jammer.
