President Jacob Zuma says he will step down
immediately if the African National Congress (ANC)ANC wants him to do so. Zuma
was reacting to mounting calls on him to vacate his office after his
controversial cabinet reshuffle led to a downgrade of South Africa's credit
status to junk. On 12 April 2017
thousands of South African opposition parties and civil society
organization members, marched to Union Buildings to protest against South
African president Jacob Zuma and ask for his resignation.
Taking a swipe at his
detractors he says there's no leader of the ANC that will not be criticized by
the opposition. He warned that even the new leader to be elected in December
would still be the subject of criticism by the opposition. He also urged
members of the ANC not to allow opposition parties to decide and judge its
organisation.
The President
says he will decide for his future and he is willing to step down anytime when the
party is ready for a new leader. He says he'll remain a loyal ANC member for
life and will go back to his party branch if the party does not want him
anymore
. Zuma says he joined the African National Congress
when he was a volunteer, and he will remain loyal to the organisation. The
President says he never joined the ANC for any position or money, and that he
will always remain a member of the party. President Zuma also accused some
within the party of stabbing him in the back, saying those he called comrades
and brothers are untrustworthy.
President Jacob Zuma shared his Birthday Speech in isiZulu
He said the youth
league would always be the first line of defence when the ANC is attacked.
“When you hit on the ANC you hit on the future of this country,” he said.
"I will continue my work at branch level and I wouldn't
want a salary because I will already be on pension.".
