NATIONAL NEWS - A concerted push to get rid of President Jacob Zuma gained impetus yesterday with the launch of a rolling mass action campaign, starting with a march to the Union Buildings in Pretoria tomorrow – Zuma’s birthday.
This, as the UDM filed an urgent application in the Constitutional Court asking that a motion of no confidence against Zuma next week be decided by secret ballot and ANC MP Makhosi Khoza broke ranks with a scathing critique of how “politics of patronage has claimed the sanity” of party leaders.
The mass action in solidarity with #ZumaMustFall was announced in Pretoria yesterday by the leaders from all the major opposition parties.
They include the DA, EFF, UDM, COPE, IFP, African Christian Democratic Party (ACDP)‚ African Independent Congress (AIC)‚ Africa People’s Convention (APC) and Agang SA.
The National Freedom Party also sent word earlier yesterday that it would be joining tomorrow’s march.
The parties plan to stage a number of protests, such as the “national day of action”, in the coming days‚ weeks and months intended to force Zuma to quit.
