Cyril Ramaphosa, the corrupt White Money Capital (WMC) politician today is one of the richest men in South Africa. In a nation like South Africa where vast majority of ethnic blacks continue to be oppressed at the hands of the WMC, Cyril Ramaphosa represents (to quote V.I.Lenin) the “fifth column” in the ranks of the African National Congress.

Even as Nelson Mandela remained imprisoned, WMC tycoons like Nicholas Oppenheimer were busy reading through the lines of BBBEE trying to ready the next generation state capture blueprint by setting the cats among the pigeons in the rank and file of the otherwise largely honest African National Congress.

The strategic goal of the WMC tycoon Nicholas Oppenheimer was “to throw a bone” at the middle class ethnic blacks and lure them into the opportunism of the free market economic philosophy. The strategic intent was to ensure status quo for the WMC even in the post-apartheid era and guarantee for the legacy of the Volkskapitalisme, and the WMC to be inherited by the next generation of the ‘Rainbow Nation” white beneficiaries. The offer from Nicholas Oppenheimer, the then Chairman of Anglo-American Corporation held importance from the twin perspective of:

• A $ 900 million deal between Nicholas Oppenheimer and Cyril Ramaphosa
• Anglo American Corporation accounted for 25% of SA GDP in 1996
  
  

Share ownership was to be ceded to select ethnic black influential leaders without ceding any management control. It meant that the ethnic blacks could have their cake but not eat it. It was a strategic alliance between WMC and the select corrupt black beneficiaries but one in which the blacks were still the subordinate allies.

Once the WMC led by Anglo American Corporation boss Nicholas Oppenheimer were sure that they had Cyril Ramaphosa with them, they came up with strategic alternative processes for stake sale in Johnnic Holdings Limited to NEC to exploit the BBBEE weak links. The stake sale offer to Cyril Ramaphosa had the following highlights:

• Johnnic Holdings Limited, an Anglo American Corporation subsidiary was valued at $ 1.88 billion/8.5 billion Rand.
• Johnnic had stakes in South African Breweries, Premier Milling, Omni Media and Toyota South Africa.
• Johnnic sold 48% stake to National Empowerment Consortium led by Cyril Ramaphosa.
• Johnnic was trading at 56 rands per share on JSE at the time of the deal.
• NEC was to buy 20% share at 50 rands per share by July 1st, 1996. The deal was undervalued and hence unlawful.
• 18 months more beyond July 1st was given to NEC to buy 15% more stake at 5 % below the market price. Again there was an illegal under valuation of the deal.
• Retail investors were allowed to buy at 50 rands per share.
• Retail investors given credit of up to 90% of the amount required keeping the shares as security.
• Repayment of the credit was to be done from dividends and capital appreciation.
• NEC was to appoint half of Johnnic’s board level executives.
• NEC could effect no fundamental change to the company for three years.
• NEC could not sell its share for the three years.
• NEC could not change the management and daily operations of companies Johnnic invested in.

Ramaphosa’s rise to power and wealth hides his fall from grace and the unprecedented low levels of betrayal with his ANC comrades that he stooped to. To this day ethnic black infants in South Africa continue to die in sleep on their mother’s laps out of hunger, disease, malnutrition and poverty just because Cyril Ramaphosa, the WMC sell-out, chose to suck blood out of their innocent bodies. Julius Caesar on seeing Cyril Ramaphosa would be spinning in his grave saying “Brutus you too!”
