ANC veterans are calling on President Jacob Zuma to step down‚ with Nelson Mandela’s fellow Rivonia trialist Andrew Mlangeni saying he avoided news of the Nkandla matter for the sake of his health.
Among those making the call are former ambassadors and cabinet ministers — some of whom served in government with Zuma or under his presidency.
Robben Islander Ahmed Kathrada fired the first salvo yesterday‚ with his peers echoing his sentiments and piling pressure on the ANC to act against its president.
The calls come after the Constitutional Court handed down a judgment on Thursday that was critical of Zuma’s handling of the public protector’s report on renovations to his Nkandla home. It found that his failure to implement her remedial action violated the constitution.
For the sake of your country‚ Mr President‚ GO NOW!
