The South African Communist Party (SACP) says the Public Protector's remedial action in the Nkandla report must be implemented.
The SACP has made an impassioned plea to the African National Congress (ANC) to listen to alliance partners as it deals with the aftermath of the Constitutional Court ruling. Their statements follow their Political Bureau meeting at the weekend.
The meeting conducted an in-depth analysis of last week's Constitutional Court judgment relating to the Nkandla matter.
This comes after the Constitutional Court found the Public Protector's recommendations are binding and that Zuma must pay back a portion of the money spent on non-security upgrades at his private Nkandla home.
Speaking on AM Live, SACP national spokesperson Alex Mashilo warns that if decisive action is not taken, the continuing loss of moral authority, political paralysis and fragmentation of the movement will continue.
Mashile says the SACP will seek an urgent meeting with the officials of the ANC on the matter.
"We also called on the ANC to look at the capacities and motives of groupings and factionalism who have become Presidential. In our view those individuals and groupings are exposing the President in a manner that puts all of us into unacceptable situations we find ourselves in."
