President Cyril Ramaphosa decided not to pitch to the ANC’s special national executive committee meeting amid fears that he could resign. 👀
Ramaphosa was expected to address the nation on Thursday to announce his resignation having met with his advisors and allies in Cape Town, but this did not go ahead.
In a briefing address to the media, Presidency spokesperson Vincent Magwenya said an announcement by Ramaphosa was still imminent. “The president has to indicate to the nation what his next course of action would be. All options are on the table, but what is important is not so much the merits or the demerits of a particular option.“What is important is choosing a path or a route that first and foremost is in the interest of the country,” he said.
Asked if Ramaphosa was resigning, Magwenya said: “I can’t talk to a specific option, that would be misleading and create the wrong impression that he is looking at an option. “He is looking at a number of options. What is important here is that it is not about what option is best for him. It is about what course of action does he take that is in the best interest of the country. That cannot be a process that is conducted in haste.”
