President Jacob Zuma says he will not resign insisting that
he had not done anything wrong.
In an interview with SABC TV on Wednesday at his official
residence in Pretoria‚ Mahlamba Ndlopfu‚ Zuma said he would only resign if the
ANC top brass could inform him what he had done wrong.
"I indicated to the top six that what they have raised
is not the first time. They have raised it in the NEC itself twice and nobody
has ever been able to tell me what the issue is. The NEC themselves said that I
must resign‚ and I find that very strange that I should do so because this is
not the first time that they've said this‚" Zuma told the SABC's Mzwandile
Mbeje.
"It's not a new matter‚ I need to be furnished with
what is it that I have done and unfortunately nobody has been able to tell me
what is it that I've done. There are processes in the ANC that need to be
followed if I have been doing something wrong‚" Zuma said.
"In the discussion‚ I asked as to‚ ‘what was the
problem? Why must I be persuaded to resign? Have I done anything wrong?’
"And of course the officials provide what is it that I've done‚" he
said.
Zuma said he told the top six that one of the problems was
that this issue of him resigning had been raised in the structures of the ANC
and nowhere else.
Zuma said he would only resign if the top six could furnish
him with reasons why he should‚ explaining what he had done wrong.
"At the discussion in the NEC nobody was able to tell
me what I've done. There's no policy in the ANC and there's nothing that once
there is a new president of the ANC‚ there must be changes‚" he said.
