Ndlozi said this confession was proof that Ramaphosa was directly involved in the finances of the campaign. , EFFSC spokesperson Xola Mehlomakulu called for Mokwele's immediate suspension pending a full investigation and disciplinary proceedings.
"The EFFSC as a student movement inspired by the EFF founding manifesto and constitution shares the conviction that indeed the first duty of a member of the EFF is always to be loyal to the organisation, hence receiving money from counter-revolutionary constitutional delinquents betrays this loyalty," said Mehlomakulu.
Presidential spokesperson Khusela Diko, who could not verify the payment allegations, told the Sowetan that the payment to Mokwele did not prove that Ramaphosa had day-to-day knowledge of the account's transactions. "If their account of what transpired is true, all it proves is that the president is a caring and compassionate human being," said Khusela.
