The deputy president was addressing an Economic Recovery Engagement Dinner organised by the Black Business council in Sandton on Wednesday night.
Ramaphosa has once again come out against state capture.
“We will not compromise on our fight against corruption, patronage or rank seeking. We will also not allow the institutions of our state to be captured by anyone – be they individuals, be they families who are intent on narrow self-enrichment.”
He says government won't allow policies to be used to confuse the public.
