South Africa’s ruling party says president must leave office
South Africa’s ruling party says it expects President Jacob Zuma to respond tomorrow to its declaration that he leave office after rising public anger over multiple scandals.
Ace Magashule, secretary-general of the African National Congress, says the party’s national executive committee has decided to “recall” Zuma.
If Zuma refuses his party’s instruction, the matter could go to parliament for a vote on a motion of no confidence.
Magashule says “it’s obvious” that the party wants Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa to succeed Zuma.
