ANC: Recall Zuma, clean up South Africa

To President Jacob Zuma, the ANC National Executive Committee, and the Parliament of South Africa:

As citizens of this beautiful country we call on you to act immediately to hold to account all those who have breached the constitution. Respectfully we call on President Zuma to resign, or be recalled. The constitutional court ruled that he failed to uphold, defend and respect the Constitution as the supreme law of the Republic. It's time to set an honourable precedent, to ensure total financial transparency, and empower the anti-corruption system to serve the public good. It’s time for a new, clean South Africa to rise.

ANC: Recall Zuma, clean up South Africa

Corruption eats at the heart of democracy, and South Africa is being hollowed from the inside. It’s time to stop this -- and that means President Zuma must go.

Zuma failed to uphold the constitution, the sacred charter of what our country means. This transcends party politics. It’s about standing up for South Africa itself and defending the country we dream we can be.

Zuma acted above the law, above the country, above his party. And for the first time senior respected ANC figures like Ahmed Kathrada and church and former trade union leaders are pushing for the President to be recalled. Let’s stand behind them and call for Zuma to go, to show that no man, however powerful, is bigger than the idea of South Africa itself. Sign to add your voice and then share with everyone!

Local elections are approaching and the ANC is taking a huge gamble on leaving Zuma in power. But if there’s a massive public mobilisation, and ANC leaders realise how badly they could lose in these elections, their calculations could all shift.

It’s time to rise above the political disagreements that so often divide us and unite around what we can agree on -- that corruption has no place in our democracy. If Zuma was a great leader he would sacrifice himself for a new, cleaner politics. But he's not showing any signs of moving on -- so it falls on us to protect our democracy.

This is a numbers game, so let’s bring the numbers. Thousands and thousands and thousands of us. Let's make this the biggest petition in South African history, a giant demonstration of our determination to face down corruption wherever we find it. Sign now to add you voice and send a simple message: enough is enough, Zuma must go!
