EFF deputy president Floyd Shivambu said the removal of Cyril Ramaphosa would not throw the country into disarray, as he is no longer fit to stay on as president.
Shivambu was responding to comments made by the ANC’s Gwede Mantashe on Friday, who said the country and the ANC would be plunged into chaos should Ramaphosa step down.
There have been calls for Ramaphosa to step down following the release of Section 89 independent panel report, which found that the president may have violated the Constitution and breached anti-corruption laws.
Shivambu said South Africa has solid institutions, that would not be collapsed by Ramaphosa’s resignation.
“We are not the Ramaphosa Republic, we are the Republic of South Africa. Ramaphosa is just occupying the role of President temporarily and when he violates the Constitution he must be removed from office. He is not a pillar of South Africa, he is not the heartbeat of South Africa.”
He said those asking Ramaphosa not to resign are only protecting their interests.
“They are going to lose the ministerial positions, they are scared of losing the blue lights and the houses they are given in Cape Town and in Pretoria. That is basically what they are doing they are protecting their selfish interests.”
