Minister in the Presidency Jeff Radebe has dismissed calls for President Jacob Zuma to step down, saying the ANC will only consider this demand if it is made from within its ranks.
Responding to the resounding calls for Zuma’s resignation from civil society, opposition parties and tripartite alliance members the South African Communist Party (SACP) and labour federation Cosatu, Radebe said no such consideration was being made by the ANC.
“The ANC is an independent organisation, it takes decisions based on its own assessment. That question has not arisen in the ANC right now.
