ANC to explain Zuma’s recall to KZN members
Meanwhile, Durban-based Active Citizens Movement hails Zuma’s resignation as a ‘victory for democracy’
Members of the ANC’s national executive committee (NEC) are expected to descend on KwaZulu-Natal to explain their decision to recall Jacob Zuma to party members. The province is a traditional foothold of support for Zuma and has been a point of disunity in the ruling party. Zuma formally tendered his resignation to the speaker of the National Assembly‚ Baleka Mbete‚ on Thursday morning after a late-night broadcast to the nation on Wednesday. Mike Mabuyakhulu‚ the convenor of the ANC’s interim leadership structure in the province — established by the ANC’s top six last month after it suspended the provincial executive committee — said an engagement with branches was imperative. "We will be deploying members of the provincial interim team along with members of the NEC over the weekend. They will explain the reasons for the recall‚" he said. "It is appropriate that, as the ANC, we explain to our own members in our own structures the reasons why the President was recalled."
