This comes after a meeting between him and President Cyril Ramaphosa on Monday.
Deputy President Paul Mashatile says he is satisfied there is no plot to oust him from the Union Buildings. On Tuesday, Mashatile told SowetanLIVE's sister TimesLIVE he and Ramaphosa agreed that the matter should be closed as there was no evidence to suggest a plot against him.
Mashatile said it was believed phones, presumably his and those of his allies, were being tapped by “faceless” people believed to be behind planning his exit. “I immediately said to him, 'I appointed you and I’m the only person who can deappoint you.' There is just no thought, no plan, no inkling whatsoever that something like that could be in the works.”“There are always reasons why people don’t want someone,” he said.
