Manyi says presidency must not protect Ramaphosa in the Zuma case

Ramaphosa wants the court to set aside the prosecution as unconstitutional and unlawful. He has asked for an interdict to prevent any “further steps” in pursuing the prosecution and to excuse his appearance in the criminal court on January 19, as demanded in Zuma’s summons. The charge was laid against Ramaphosa a day before the ANC conference where the head of state was contesting for a second term. He argues that Zuma brought the case with the ulterior purpose of ruining his chances of being re-elected president of the ANC.
Former ANC member Carl Niehaus says he wants the president removed immediately, just as how former secretary-general Ace Magashule was disqualified from standing for ANC positions because he was charged.
