Cope applauds South Africans over anti-Zuma protests


Congress of the People has applauded South Africans for coming out in their thousands to demand that Zuma must step down.

“We are highly motivated and encouraged by what we have witnessed yesterday (Fri) said Cope spokesperson, Dennis Bloem.

“We are encouraged by the determination and steadfastness of the thousands, black and white, who took to the streets, ignoring the intimidation and threats that came from the ANCYL and other ANC aligned thugs, to deal with those who dare to march against Zuma,” he said.

“The ANC must know that yesterday was just the beginning of bigger things to come. The moral campaign to remove Zuma will be intensified over the next few days and weeks, Bloem said.

He said next Wednesday political parties, including COPE, will march to the Union Buildings to demand Zuma's removal from the Office of State President.

“On 18 April 2017thousands of people will gather outside Parliament when MP's debate a vote of No Confidence in Zuma, the people will not get tired until Zuma is no more in that office,” Bloem said.
