Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>South Africa\u2019s Deputy President David Mabuza on Saturday confirmed that he had tendered his resignation to President Cyril Ramaphosa.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the sidelines of a funeral in Mpumalanga on Saturday, Mabuza announced it made sense that he step down as the country\u2019s deputy president, to make space for Paul Mashatile. Said Mabuza:<\/p>\n

I am making space for the one elected at the conference because I can see he [Mashatile] is also making a few moves.<\/p>\n

So now I am also in a rush to give them space. I spoke to the president and told him I would step down.<\/p>\n

The president will say that Mabuza has resigned. He [Ramaphosa] and I had an agreement.<\/p>\n

I said I would respect the president until I leave, so I have left, and I think those left will continue to respect him.<\/p>\n

Mashatile was elected the African National Congress (ANC) deputy president at the party\u2019s national conference in December 2022, taking over from Mabuza who hitherto had remained the State Vice President.<\/p>\n

Mashatile was confirmed as an ANC member of parliament (MP) earlier last week.<\/p>\n

On Sunday morning, Ramaphosa\u2019s spokesperson, Vincent Magwenya, confirmed that Mabuza had been asked to remain in his position until \u201cmodalities around his departure are finalised\u201d.<\/p>\n

On the deputy president\u2019s request to Ramaphosa to step down from his role, Magwenya said:<\/p>\n

Deputy President Mabuza has expressed his desire to step down from his position following the outcomes of the governing party\u2019s leadership elections in December.<\/p>\n
