The uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MKP) has warned that if President Cyril Ramaphosa doesn’t resign by the end of today, it will approach the Constitutional Court.
The party’s spokesperson Nhlamulo Ndhlela says that Ramaphosa violated a section of the constitution when he appointed Professor Firoz Cachalia as acting Police Minister in place of Senzo Mchunu who has been placed on special leave.
Gwede Mantashe will act until Cachalia takes over on the first of next month.
Ndhlela was speaking during the party’s march from Church Square to the Union Buildings in Pretoria in support of KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.

Ndhlela says that the party will embark on demonstrations across the country against the current government.
“If he doesn’t meet the deadline of resigning, a constitutional delinquent, we have no option but to take this matter on an urgent basis to the Constitutional Court. Secondly, we are going to have rolling mass action throughout the country as per the Constitution and they will be peaceful. But we are going to demonstrate that we are not for this government. We are not for this President that is a Constitutional delinquent.” says Ndhlela.
The MK Party says that it will table a motion of no confidence in Parliament against President Ramaphosa.
“And of course in Parliament, we are going to call as per Section 102 of the constitution, table motion of no confidence against the President. Of course, that is the program and that is what we are going to be doing nationally. We are going to act, our lawyers have drafted the papers, and we are going to submit them accordingly,” Ndhlela explains.
