ANC NEC Must Tell Zuma To Go To Jail – SACP

THE SA Communist Party (SACP) says that it expects the special ANC national executive committee (NEC) meeting on Monday to instruct former President Jacob Zuma to go jail and serve his sentence as ordered by the apex court.

Members of the party’s highest decision-making body were meeting to deal with the tense political situation in Nkandla because it regarded the events unfolding at the former president’s homestead as a matter of national importance.

ANC deputy Secretary-General Jessie Duarte is expected to brief the media on the outcomes of the special NEC meeting that took place on Monday.

The party’s initial NEC meeting was expected to convene on Friday last week but was postponed.

Solly Mapaila, the SACP first deputy General Secretary, said that as much it was sad to see Zuma to go to jail this would reaffirm the centrality of the Constitution and the rule of law.
