'Do you have friends' in white monopoly capital? - Zuma lambasts SACP
7 August 2017
Johannesburg – President Jacob Zuma on Sunday had strong words for the South African Communist Party, accusing them of defending white monopoly capital.
"They cannot disown it (the ANC) today. Why do they say that there is no white monopoly capital in South Africa today? Do you have friends there?" Zuma asked in isiZulu at the unveiling of the Harry Gwala statue in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal on Sunday.
The SACP has been calling for Zuma to resign, saying he was no longer fit to be president.
The party, which has threatened to split from the alliance, has been putting pressure on the ANC to vote Zuma out of power.
