ANC chief whip Mdumiseni Ntuli has dismissed plans by the EFF and MK Party to table a motion of no confidence in President Cyril Ramaphosa, describing the two parties as an “unholy alliance” united only by their opposition to the president.
Addressing the ANC parliamentary caucus media briefing on Wednesday, Ntuli said the ANC would not support any attempt to remove Ramaphosa through a motion of no confidence and argued both parties should instead focus their efforts on the newly established Section 89 impeachment committee.
“The MK Party and the EFF is a very unholy alliance,” Ntuli said.
“What really unites them is opposition to the ANC, with President Cyril Ramaphosa as a principal enemy for them. If anything were to happen tomorrow to President Ramaphosa, they will have nothing to work together for.”
Ntuli’s remarks come days after Parliament constituted the 31-member Section 89 committee tasked with investigating allegations that Ramaphosa may have violated the Constitution or the law in relation to the Phala Phala matter.
