Makhosi Khoza reiterates call for Zuma to step down
Updated | By Maryke Vermaak
ANC MP Makhosi Khoza seems relentless in her call for President Jacob Zuma to resign.
Speaking at the Future of SA Conference at the Rhema Bible Church, Khoza says the president promotes tribalism.
The conference is hosted by Save South Africa.
"This is not just my pain, this is a pain of all South Africans. This is a president who appears to promote tribalism. When citizens peacefully march to plead with him to step down and give South Africa breathing space, he calls them racists and agents of white monopoly capital," Khoza says.
Despite the recent death threats she has received, Khoza says she will not back down in her fight for what's right.
"I am here because the people are speaking and I have to listen attentively so that my ANC can be an effective instrument of liberation. Can the ANC be an effective instrument of none racialism when it's led by a president who has lost, legitimacy, credibility and integrity. I am here to defend the ANC and not a dishonourable and disgraceful leader," she says.
ANC chief whip, Jackson Mthembu, has called Khoza ill-disciplined, while police minister, Fikile Mbalula has called her a "suicide bomber".
