COPE SHARES THE UTTER OUTRAGE OF ALL SOUTH AFRICANS

Issued by: MOSIUOA LEKOTA
The Congress of the People shares the utter outrage of all South Africans at:

 The extent of brazen corruption on a grand scale never before
witnessed;
 The capture of significant portions of our State;
 The setting up of a parallel shadow criminal state;
 The creation of a Mafia State - with the President of the Republic at its
apex; and
 The disregard for our Constitutional Order and the Rule of Law
that has been exposed by the South Africa Council of Churches in their
‘Unburdening Report’, the ‘Betrayal of the Promise: How South Africa is being
Stolen’ Report by academics and the revelations contained in the Sunday
press.

It is imperative that this ‘silent coup’ is immediately halted in its tracks and
that the ‘Zuma-centered power elite’ is dismantled.

Jacob Zuma must go! Has betrayed his Country. His actions constitute treason!
Should the ANC not recall the president this weekend, it will show all South
Africans that the ANC itself is more than complicit in the grand theft of our
state; and that it too has been captured and corrupted beyond redemption,
with no chance of self-correction. 

Should the ANC fail to immediately remove the criminal-in-chief, Jacob Zuma,
then it will be incumbent upon all South Africans to take up their collective
responsibility to rid the Presidency of Jacob Zuma; to reclaim our state and to
ensure that ‘government is based on the will of the people - and for the
people’

The removal of Jacob Zuma represents but the first step in cleansing our
systems and structures of governance, and the restoration of our
Constitutional order and the rule of law.
