Why Was Cyril Ramaphosa Called "Big C"? | Madlanga Commission Explained | InQuestion

In this episode of InQuestion, we unpack explosive evidence presented before the Madlanga Commission involving alleged WhatsApp conversations between businessman Ismail Vally and Major General Feroz Khan. The Commission heard evidence discussing a confidential presidential briefing on South Africa's $8.5 billion Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP), comments about President Cyril Ramaphosa, and messages stating, "We got to make some huge money." We examine why these conversations have raised serious questions about the alleged relationship between senior Crime Intelligence officials, politically connected business figures, government tenders, parliamentary influence, and access to confidential state information. While the evidence has been presented before the Commission, it has not yet been tested through cross-examination, and the Commission has not made any final findings. Could these WhatsApp messages reveal how influence was allegedly exercised behind the scenes? Or are they simply private conversations being interpreted too broadly? We examine what the evidence shows, what it does not prove, and why these allegations matter for accountability, transparency and governance in South Africa.
