The SACP says the Zondo Commission should Zuma on former president Jacob Zuma as the integrity of the country's democracy is at stake."No person, regardless of their social and political standing in our society, must be allowed to hold the development, deepening and widening of our democracy and accountability to ransom", said SACP General Secretary Blade Nzimande. The party says it is firmly behind the campaign to defend our democracy against what it says are attempts and threats to undermine the Constitution. The campaign is likely to affect the ANC's upcoming national general council, which will pit Zuma's supporters against those of President Cyril Ramaphosa and may determine who will be the ANC's next president.
