"If we can’t do the right thing‚ we must offer to resign" - Mantashe while calls for Zuma's removal intensifies
Cape Town – "If we can’t do the right thing‚ we must offer to resign. If you can’t do that‚ you are failing Oliver Tambo."
These were the words of ANC national chairperson Gwede Mantashe on Friday when he spoke at a wreath-laying ceremony in honour of Tambo at the OR Tambo Memorial in Wattville, Ekurhuleni.
This, while calls for President Jacob Zuma to resign or to be removed as president, have intensified.
Mantashe also said newly elected ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa won't steal, because he is rich.
While the machinations to offer Zuma a "graceful exit", instead of facing another motion of no confidence, has been continuing behind the scenes, it spilled into the public sphere this past week, with often contradictory reports from the media.
