Nzimande was clear that he still supported calls for President Jacob Zuma to stand down‚ saying his leaving office would be “necessary but not sufficient” as things were now far worse than they were leading up to Polokwane in 2008 when president Thabo Mbeki was recalled.
“If things continue as they are now‚ the ANC will eat itself. What will replace the ANC if it goes to conference and tears itself apart?” he asked.
