The presidency has denied reports over the weekend alleging that President Jacob Zuma had a hand in an alleged withdrawal of an academic honour for Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe in the People's Republic of
Presidential Spokesperson Mac Maharaj said
the reports over the weekend are baseless and ridiculous.
Maharaj said neither the President nor his
Private Office had any knowledge of this honour that was apparently turned down
until enquiries came from two media houses.
Mac Maharaj added that the president has
also noted reports earlier this year that President Jacob Zuma was preventing
the Deputy President from travelling outside the country.
“These allegations are not true and the
President and the Deputy President continue to work well together and share
responsibilities including Cabinet” Maharaj added.
