Should Ace Magashule step down and why hasn’t President Cyril Ramaphosa fired Pravin Gordhan were two of the most heated debates discussed at the ANC NEC this weekend.

The ANC National Executive Committee meeting on Sunday was again dominated by infighting of the two factions.

In August, ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa penned a letter in which he told members who had been formally charged with corruption and “other serious crimes” to immediately step aside from the party, legislature and government leadership positions pending the finalisation of their cases. Ramaphosa however faced a battle because his close ally Speaker of Parliament Thandi Modise is facing criminal after after she allegedly abused and starved animals at her farm.

"If Magashule steps aside, we will have to go to a early conference to decide on a new leadership. The SG was elected as part of structure. There has never been the election of only an SG. If Magashule isn't good enough, we will elect a new leadership. The same way we did at Nasrec,“ the source revealed.

“The ANC NEC should consider getting the views of those individual members and, or, branches which nominated and elected any leader, which according to the other members of the NEC, hold a view that such a leader needs to voluntarily step down.

AfricanChildSo1 Cyril must step down first for selling the country

AfricanChildSo1 How can you fire someone who hired you into power and as for ace the ANC is bigger than an individual you might be the ANC president but decision are made as a collective I think

If Anc has these serious problems, why do people keep on voting for it☹? I am not expecting an answer this is Rhetorical

Question should be, why Ace is not stepping down by himself?

MlunguMitch He must not step down he must be set aside until court case matter comes to end

Ao now that a full bench of the High Court has set aside the PP report on the so called rogue unit will u be publishing it or is IqbalSurve not allowing it

It's difficult to trust this IOL News, considering that even Bongo isn't that stupid to think that Pravin agreed that a rogue unit existed.

GGMatsheke An easy Answer. They are all Corrupt and are in the Same Whatsapp Group. Loot and Steal South Africa Dry. Show me an ANC Politician not linked to Looting or Corruption.

Lousy!

Rand will collapse if Pravin’s removed!

Ningenaphi

EFF told Ramaphosa long ago to fire Gordan , c now he cant fire Ace

Ace is a cancer and when such opportunities present themselves for ANC to get rid of him,they should take them, if they are truly patriotic... but we know they are not

He will only step down by a due conference not by anybody

So IOL is busy fabricating stories

Are the people stupid this man and his family are living in luxury stealing our money and the poor is suffering

Why don't we as citizens vote for the president of the country?

The ANC is all about protecting corrupt politicians. They have no other mandate. Their goal is to steal as much as possible from the state coffers. VoetsekANC CyrilRamaphosa

Dont tell us about mediocre boss. Is just that SAns are lazy to think.and fall prey of the obvious

If everyone involved in corruption in the ANC had to step down, there wouldn't be any members left at National level, to run the Govt!

President of SA is Cyril Ramaphosa. Ntate Cde Ace Magashule Secretary General of the ANC.

Ramaphosa is the President of the country while Magashule is only employed by the ANC as a not the government. They should decide if they want to keep all their thieves in leadership, which will always have great impact on the already damaged image of the party due to corruption.

The whole party must step aside, bottom and klaar

IndWorldThinker CYRIL must fire Pravin and stop playing games with ACE Because it will end in tears for him

You have a conference resolution which says those who are charged must step aside and a constitution of the country which says innocent until proven guilty,I think Mpofu's opinion makes sense.

The people still remain poor

The masses remain poor

Utterly disgraceful all who are guilty. Self interests go before the interests of the people. They have stolen money from the people. Do they have no shame? Greed and gluttony while the poor suffers

The ANC is no longer a political party its mafia like run organization who love stealing from the less privilege to fill their own pockets and in the meanwhile they sell people the illusion of a Democracy, Shame on you!.

AHA iOL, the propaganda machine of the cANCer/EFT

Ace image is damaged. Rather go home.

ACE is the only obstacle for ANC to report from stellenbosch.

These niggas made politics their bread and butter. If he step down what would he eat🙉😁😁...niggas ain't going nowhere 😛🙈. Career politics

Peuw the pamphlet is at it again

Is ACE in government

Why only him? CyrilRamaphosa n Thandi Modise as well n also Jamnadas

He cannot go - please get your head around that - this is more power ( & money ) or jail - nothing in between for this gangster - I love how people vote for corruption & poverty

ANC Nasrec loosers will stop at nothing to make sure that ANC is dead and buried, Ace is criminally charged so he must step aside

The UDF cabal & spies like Hanekom led by Cyril must go!

Ace must take over

Lies

Ace Magashule is going nowhere, Cyril must go

Starmthimkhulu Let me leave your ignorance here to fend for itself! Good Luck and peace✌🏽

ANC, the governing party, should step down. We don't care abt its individuals&the nitty gritties! SA is in a very bad state, each town, each province, each rural area...it's bcos of the ANC, which has failed the people of SA. Let it do the honourable this & give us back our SA.

Fake news alert 🚨

Hayi kunzima kwa khongolose

If Ace stap aside the majority will follow some are ministers I don't think it can happen

Anc does not believe anyone in being forced to step down. They defy their own instructions and policies

You are just speculating

Dont trust you.... IqbalSurve manufacturing news....
