Ramaphosa in September expressed his openness to testify at the inquiry, if called on to do so.
“As president of the ANC I can never dissociate myself and run away from a commission that we said should be set up,” he said.
“The issue of state capture is one that has affected all in the country. Details have come as a shock and things that were not apparent are now being put forward,” Ramaphosa continued.
The president also expressed a desire to “bring back” the money lost during the alleged looting of the state.
