On Sunday morning, the Presidency's office issued a confirmation stating that President Cyril Ramaphosa has asked David Mabuza to remain in his position as deputy while 'the modalities around his departure are finalised.'
for the first time about the deputy president’s request to resign, presidency spokesperson Vincent Mangwena said:
“Deputy President Mabuza has expressed his desire to step down from his position following the outcomes of the governing party’s leadership elections in December.” He reportedly added that despite this request, “the president has asked that the deputy president remains in his role until such a time as the modalities of his departure and transition have been finalised.”
This confirmation comes after Mabuza announced that he had informed President Cyril Ramaphosa of his resignation as deputy president of the country, as he is making way for the newly elected deputy president of the ANC, Paul Mashatile.
