ANC leader Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma has denied reports that she wants to resign from parliament as an MP.
This comes after the Sunday Times reported yesterday that Dlamini-Zuma, who failed in her bid to become the first woman to lead the ANC, had told President Cyril Ramaphosa that she wanted to step down as an MP.
"Dr Dlamini-Zuma wishes to emphasise that she remains at the service of South Africa as a member of the South African parliament, and no fake news will dissuade her from her duties," Dlamini-Zuma's representatives, Mandown Media, said in a statement yesterday.
"Dr Dlamini-Zuma remains a loyal member of the ANC collective as a branch, NEC and NWC member and no mischievous attempts of wedge-driving will persuade her out of the movement she had dedicated all her life to."
