Closed-door talks with Ramaphosa was about coal?
- Tuesday, 12 August 2014
The president held a one-to-one discussion, without any official present, with South African deputy president Cyril Ramaphosa during his recent visit to Sri Lanka, the media reported. However, not a single media institution could say as to what they had discussed at this closed-door meeting. Instead, what they did was to speculate, that they had discussed the ethnic issue in Sri Lanka.
However, the matters they had discussed are now being revealed one by one.
Cyril Ramaphosa is a wealthy South African businessman. After the African National Congress (ANC) gained power in 1994, the Nelson Mandela government gave Ramaphosa’s businesses, especially mining, every state backing to end the trade monopoly enjoyed until then by the whites. Ramaphosa is the executive chairman of Shanduka Group of South Africa and also the leading investor in the resources sector, energy sector, real estate, banking, insurance, and telecoms (SEACOM).
The wealthiest person in South Africa, his assets are worth 675 million US dollars, according to Forbes.
It is now revealed that Ramaphosa had given the order for the notorious Marikana massacre, in which 34 mine workers were murdered and 78 others wounded on 16 August 2012. Ramaphosa is also the best friend of one of the most corrupt presidents, Jacob Zuma, who was jeered at by the South African people at the funeral of Nelson Mandela.
Due to the close ties the South African government is having with the Global Tamil Fourm, the most powerful Tamil Diaspora organization, president Mahinda Rajapaksa is plotting, through Ramaphosa, to influence the Tamil Diaspora through the South African government, to ensure that the Tamil people boycott the next presidential election.
The president has implemented this conspiracy by granting the coal supplying tender to Swiss Singapore Overseas Enterprises, a Singaporean company having connections with Ramaphosa, by not submitting to the technical committee the tender by Nobel Resources, owned by Ravi Wijeratne and which had up to then supplied coal to Sri Lanka.
