SOUTH AFRICA’S African National Congress (ANC) party will not consider any demands from possible coalition partners that President Cyril Ramaphosa step down, a top official said on Sunday.
This came after the ANC lost its 30-year-old majority after a stinging result in Wednesday’s election.
South Africa has now been plunged into a series of negotiations to form a national coalition government and to maintain stability.
