Second deputy general secretary of the South African Communist Party (SACP) Solly Mapaila has called for both the heads of President Jacob Zuma and ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule.
Speaking at the Boyce Melitafa memorial in East London on Sunday Mapaila said although they had accepted the outcomes of the 54th ANC conference, they were set on analysing the new leadership.
“The ANC has set two NEC meetings and out of those meetings there has been no decision on the removal of Zuma who has enabled the capture of the state by the Gupta family. I think that we have given the ANC too many chances to decide on the removal of Zuma," said Mapaila.
The alliance partner leader further called for swift action against the former Free State premier, saying his implication in the Estina dairy farm project near Vrede compromised the office he currently serves in.
“We as the SACP have given up our independence and the ANC carries our identity, we are going into the 2019 elections where the SG is meant to be at the centre of our campaign and yet he is tainted. In the next sitting of the ANC it must be a clear decision on the position of the secretary-general,” said Mapaila.
