The Presidency has labeled a comment made by Western Cape Premier Helen Zille regarding suspended Hawks boss Anwa Dramat as irresponsible.

In the Democratic Alliance’s newsletter Premier Zille wrote that evidence suggests that Dramat is being purged because he refused to ignore the scourge of corruption as Zuma seemed to demand.

She continued by saying however, Dramat’s error was that his investigations brought him a little too close to Zuma.

Presidential Spokesperson Mac Maharaj said he has indicated a few times that Mr. Dramat was not investigating anything related to the presidency.

“The ongoing comments by Premier Zille which are designed to drag the president into a employer, employee matter are incorrect, mischievous and irresponsible” Maharaj added.
