Due to Zuma being “rather advanced in years”, Ramaphosa said he would be better suited to the “key role of an elder, giving advice to the ANC”.Meanwhile, current ANC chairperson Gwede Mantashe said Zuma is too old for the responsibilities of the party’s chairperson position. on Friday, Mantashe said while it was up to the branches to make the final decision, Zuma was a bit too old to be accepting any nominations.
“I think he is a bit old for that. Leave that, branches are working, leave it to the branches, don’t ask us. All of us are available, but if branches don’t nominate us, we’re not available”, said Mantashe said.he was relieved “to be free again and to walk around”, but it had been a day of “mixed emotions” as well.
“I am relieved […] to do whatever I want without restrictions and having to seek permission, in the same manner I felt in 1973 when I was released from Robben Island”. “Only this time, I am also filled with sadness. It was the first time ever that the Constitutional Court sentenced any person to a term of imprisonment and without even the benefit of a trial”.
