He made a corresponding statement about this on Wednesday, February 14, in a televised address to the nation. As reported by DW, Zuma thus avoided consideration in the parliament of the issue of confidence vote to the president of the country, which his own ruling party was going to introduce the African National Congress.

In his address to the nation Zuma stated that he did not agree with this decision, but obeyed him as a disciplined member of the party.

In turn, the country's vice-president Cyril Ramaposa explained that the party's leadership intends to get Zuma resigned from the post of president as soon as possible in order to restore the confidence of voters.

Recall, as reported URA-Inform, February 12 members of the ruling South African Republic "African National Congress" gave the president of the country Jacob Zuma 48 hours to retire, otherwise threatening to organize a nationwide strike. In early February this year, acting since 2009, the president of South Africa, Jacob Zumu was accused of corruption.
