BREAKING | President Cyril Ramaphosa ‘very likely’ to resign

All indications are that Cyril Ramaphosa will resign as state president in the next couple of hours.

Ramaphosa is also expected to resign as ANC leader and will withdraw from contesting the elective conference at Nasrec.

This comes after a Section 89 panel found Ramaphosa may have contravened the Constitution and anti-corruption laws with his dealings at Phala Phala.

President Cyril Ramaphosa has lost the political support of the ANC and is “very likely” to announce his resignation as head of state in the next few hours.

Ramaphosa will also resign as president of the ANC and will pull out of the race to be re-elected in just over two weeks’ time at Nasrec.

In accordance with the Constitution, Deputy President David Mabuza, a former premier of Mpumalanga, will step in as acting president until Parliament votes for a new president.
