The EFF has demanded that Ramaphosa relieve Nene of his duties with immediate effect. Julius Malema has written a letter to President Cyril Ramaphosa calling on him to accept the offer made by Nhlanhla Nene to resign.
This is according to a recent statement issued by the Economic Freedom Fighters in which they maintain their assertion that Nene’s “continued stay as minister of finance is not in the best interest of South Africa.”
The party went on to add that “Treasury cannot be presided over by a person without integrity. Nene has lied on numerous occasions about his role in cabinet and government. He has also facilitated the state capture of the state by the criminal Gupta syndicate.”
They demanded that Ramaphosa relieve Nene of his duties with immediate effect.
This is because the EFF believes that “one of the ingredients towards economic recovery is a credible minister of finance” and that public servants will feel no responsibility to manage state finances responsibly if Nene remains.
They would also like to see the medium-term budget policy statement delivered by a different minister.
