TheDemocratic Alliance said that any negotiated exit for President Jacob Zuma would be a betrayal of the people of South Africa.
DA national spokesperson, Refiloe N’tseke was commenting on Sunday reports quoting ANCDeputy Secretary-General, Jessie Duarte, as saying that President Zuma was hereto stay.
“President Zuma and those who have sold the country to the Gupta family, deserve nothing more than a hefty jail sentence,” she said.
N’tsekesaid that the “ANC would negotiate anything either than bringing him and his cronies to book, reaffirms that despite the new leadership, nothing has changed in this organisation.”
She said that the DA has continuously held President Zuma and his politically connected cronies accountable over the years.
N’tsekesaid that the DA welcomed reports that the Hawks have acted against several individuals implicated in State Capture, including Mineral Resources Minister, Mosebenzi Zwane, and the Gupta brothers, who are President Jacob Zuma’sfriends.
‘Zwane andFree State Premier, Ace Magashule, must be jailed for their role in the VredeDairy Farm scandal, where R220 million which was earmarked for poor black farmers was stolen,” she said.
“We will continue fighting to ensure the NPA prosecutes President Zuma and that he has his day in court,” N’tseke said.
