But ANC NEC meeting that was called for Thursday evening has been postponed until Friday.

“There's an elective conference in two weeks and we can't sit idle. Yes, we want the president to stay and contest. However, if he is leaving ... we can't fold our arms.

“There have been talks of approaching comrade Paul [Mashatile] as he has the most nominations for deputy, but that is still in its infancy. Everything can change, depending on what the president says,” another NEC member said. TimesLIVE understands that the better part of Thursday was spent trying to convince Ramaphosa to reverse his decision. “He told [finance minister Enoch Godongwana] he wants to leave before he is pushed out.”[he is going],” another source said, adding: “He wanted to leave in July anyway. It was always his position, he would never be allowed to be recalled.”

“He is not against resigning, but forces are fighting it. I’m told they are engaging him and have advised him against leaving. It has been long coming,” added another ANC insider, saying the president said the matter was putting strain on his family. “There are two people who have been engaging him, Enoch [Godongwana] and [mineral resources and energy minister] Gwede [Mantashe]. They’ve been discouraging him from leaving. There are also [former presidents] Kgalema [Motlanthe] and Thabo Mbeki to take over in the interim.”

Geez!! 😂😂😂😂 English came with a ship in this country 😂😂😂😂 one thing abt the report it says the president may have I believe President Cyril Ramaphosa will humble himself in front of the ANC NEC and tender his resignation instead of asking for protection from potential impeachment.
