Ramaphosa will confirm Zuma’s position ‘in the coming days’
‘Both President Zuma and myself are aware that our people want and deserve closure’
President Jacob Zuma’s fate will only be known once “pertinent matters” are finalised between himself and ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa. Uncertainty abounds as talks between Zuma and Ramaphosa continue after the unprecedented move to postpone the state of the nation address and the shifting of a key national executive committee (NEC) meeting in which Zuma’s recall was set to be discussed. In a vague statement from Ramaphosa on Wednesday, he admits this is a “challenging time” for the country. “Both President Zuma and myself are aware that our people want and deserve closure. The constructive process we have embarked on offers the greatest opportunity to conclude this matter without discord and division,” he said in a possible confirmation that Zuma is digging his heels in.
