SACP Statement on the Statements by the ANC Deputy President and the ANC NWC

Wednesday, 07 December 2005

The SACP has taken note of the statements by the ANC Deputy President Cde Jacob Zuma and the ANC NWC on the stepping down of the ANC Deputy President from his official duties in the ANC. We believe that measures announced in these statements are appropriate in these circumstances.

As the SACP we have consistently said that Cde Jacob Zuma?s position as Deputy President of the ANC is an ANC matter.

Furthermore the SACP welcomes the decision of the ANC NWC to convene a special NEC and the fact that it will brief its structures and the democratic movement broadly on these issues.
