SA President Cyril Ramaphosa 'Fired' By Top Politician He 'Fired' Just Yesterday by TMKsouth: 12:26pm On May 06, 2021 |
The ruling African National Congress (ANC) in South Africa is set to hold an urgent meeting on Thursday after the revelation on Wednesday night that its secretary-general Ace Magashule had attempted to “suspend” ANC party president Cyril Ramaphosa via a written letter. The secretary-general position is often referred to as the most powerful within the organisation. Magashule’s letter, in which he refused to step aside because of corruption allegations, said he would be appealing his suspension and added that he was “suspending” Ramaphosa - who is also the leader of the country. The letter is said to have angered the president. Magashule confirmed to the M&G on Wednesday night that the letter was “not fake”. Step Aside Policy He said he had the authority to suspend Ramaphosa because he was still the secretary general of the governing party, adding that the president too had been implicated in potentially corrupt acts. “The resolution says all those who are alleged, reported and charged [must step aside],” he said. "I have also, in accordance with the powers vested in me as the secretary general of the ANC … summarily suspended the president of the ANC, comrade Cyril Ramaphosa," Magashule said in his letter. “This is done in terms of resolution 8.2 of the 54th national conference, which states that, ‘Every cadre accused of, or reported to be involved in, corrupt practices should voluntarily step down while they face disciplinary, investigative or prosecutorial procedures". President Ramaphosa is accused by some of having received corrupt funds to aid his campaign to oust Jacob Zuma in 2018. But the ANC is a party split in the middle among Ramaphosa and Jacob Zuma supporters. Magashule is a powerful Zuma ally. During the short phone call on Wednesday night, the M&G could hear voices in the background that appeared to be Magashule supporters. “Why don’t you read those 10 points? They (Ramaphosa camp) are using state organs and we are quiet and we know this. We know what they are cooking against Supra [Mahumapelo], Bongani Bongo, Lindiwe Sisulu. We know what they are cooking. I will not step aside and I am still the secretary general elected by conference,” Magashule told the M&G. Magashule Condemned The M&G also spoke to ANC national chairperson Gwede Mantashe on Wednesday, who dismissed Magashule’s letter, saying that already suspended Magashule had no authority to suspend Ramaphosa. “This is an organisation. You don’t wake up angry and take a decision and communicate it. This is of no consequence, because we were at the national working committee yesterday and this decision was not discussed. He makes a decision at his home alone and writes to the president. That is not how decisions are made in an organisation,” Mantashe said.

AfriqueDuZuid: okay, i wouldn't go that far, I don't want Cyril killed. But this is Zuma 2.0 loading, exactly what happened when Mbeki fired him. These guys are gonna regroup but I hope they do it outside the ANC where no one will vote for them and they'll become irrelevant. EFF is something else all together. |
