South Africa: Protestors demand Zuma resignation
Genuine Revolution
“The genuine revolution against the ANC and Zuma will be black-led and will ultimately overthrow white monopoly capital and transfer land,” Julius Malema, the leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters party which is campaigning for the nationalization of mines and banks, said on his Twitter account on Monday.
The ANC rallied behind Zuma after he bowed to demands to reverse his decision to appoint van Rooyen.
“The president’s willingness to change an earlier deployment in the face of our sluggish economic climate and representations from role players demonstrated bold leadership,” the National Working Committee, a group of mostly top ANC officials, said in a statement after it met on Monday. “The ability of the leadership to review their positions in the face of legitimate concerns of our people are the hallmarks of a listening, responsive and accountable organization.”
