President Cyril Ramaphosa will subject himself to the ANC’s Integrity Commission after surviving a push by senior party members for him to step down, according to reports from the party’s national executive committee meeting at the Saint George Hotel in Pretoria.Party secretary general Ace Magashule has been summoned to appear before the commission - reportedly after a recent statement that nobody should be expected to step down from senior ANC positions based on unsubstantiated allegations.
Earlier in the day 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 - including the president. Zuma retains considerable support from a powerful faction within the ANC who it is believed is pushing for Ramaphosa to step down or be recalled.
This week Ramaphosa wrote a letter to ANC members saying its"leaders stand accused of corruption" and that the ANC"does stand as accused number one."
