  • Local analysts expect ANC Secretary General to follow the example of Ex-President Zuma and defy NEC calls to step down once the voluntary period of once month is over, forcing the ANC's hand to attempt to suspend him.
  • This will be a massive test for Ramaphosa to show strength following open defiance by Zuma to appear before the courts, and accentuating weaknesses within the ANC and Ramaphosa's grip on power
  • MKVA Veterans have been posted outside Zuma's Nkandla residence for a number of days now and have vowed to 'protect' the president from both harm and arrest
