Business Unity South Africa (BUSA) welcomes the decision of the ANC NEC to recall President Zuma indicating that the implementation of the decision will require a Constitutional process to lawfully remove the President from office.

“Business views the decision of the NEC to recall President Zuma as a decisive step towards greater policy certainty, accountability and clean governance. The decision of the NEC is a critical one that will inspire greater confidence in the leadership of the ANC provided it is expeditiously actioned within the requirements of the Constitution,” said BUSA CEO Tanya Cohen.

BUSA stated that further delays in implementing the recall of President Zuma will only serve to exacerbate low levels of business and investor confidence currently manifested within the South African economy. BUSA calls on the ANC leadership to act swiftly to institute the necessary leadership changes in the administration.
