President Cyril Ramaphosa will subject himself to the ANC’s Integrity Commission, according to reports from the party’s national executive committee (NEC) meeting.
This comes after senior party members called for him to step down during ANC's NEC meeting at the Saint George Hotel in Pretoria.
President Ramaphosa is going to be the first ANC president to subject himself to the commission. He is facing allegations of vote-buying at the ANC's elective conference at Nasrec in 2017.
City of Ekurhuleni mayor Mzwandile Masina picketed outside the hotel, calling for corrupt party leaders to step aside. He said that any party leader who has a court case pending against them should step down from their position. This includes the sitting President of the ANC.
"Anyone who has a matter before the court must step aside,“ Masina said referring to the ongoing legal wrangling over Ramaphosa’s CR17 campaign.
ANC NEC member Tony Yengeni on Friday called for Ramaphosa to resign over the allegations.
On Friday, former president Jacob Zuma lashed out at Ramaphosa, accusing him of betraying the ANC with his stance against corruption. Zuma was responding to an open letter that Ramaphosa wrote to all members of the ANC.
"Many, in white circles that are fond of you, and seek to minimize your errors, will fill their barrels of ink and sharpen their pens to condemn me for expressing my views. They will, through their infamous grand narrative, write a series of opinion pieces to diminish the significance of the issues I raise," said Zuma in a letter to Ramaphosa.
"Maybe, Mr President, this is the opportune time to tell our members whether during the so-called "nine wasted years" any of your companies ever did business with government (national or provincial) while you were Deputy President of our movement and the country," he added.
