President Cyril Ramaphosa says he won’t be discouraged from proceeding with his work as head of the state following alarming allegations of theft and corruption against him.
His comments follow growing calls for him to step down, pending an investigation into his Phala Phala Game Farm in Limpopo, where 60 million rands which were allegedly stashed in furniture were stolen.
On Thursday, Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema told a media briefing that his party is in consultation with various stakeholders on a national shutdown calling for Ramaphosa to resign.
African National Congress (ANC) members and supporters were protesting outside Luthuli House in Johannesburg, calling for the president to step down.
Meanwhile, speaking at the South African Communist Party (SACP) conference on Friday, Ramaphosa said he will not be intimidated by anyone.
