Political whispers hit hard in South Africa. Right now Ramaphosa resignation rumors claim the president will step down after handing the G20 baton to the US next month. ANC leaders say nonsense – and they say it loud.
Where the Rumors Started
Talk began in Eastern Cape circles, sparking many Ramaphosa resignation rumors. Some seniors want Ramaphosa gone, the NEC dissolved and a former president heading an interim team. The timing ties straight to the Johannesburg G20 Summit. Analysts laugh it off. Ramaphosa still commands over 80% support inside the party. Quitting now would slam the economy and hurt ANC chances in 2026 local elections – pain we can’t afford.
Top Brass Shuts It Down
Fikile Mbalula spoke clear on 15 November: “Ramaphosa is going nowhere.”
Presidential advisor Bejani Chauke called the Ramaphosa resignation rumors “disturbing and unfounded.” He stressed the team stays focused on jobs and cleaning up corruption ahead of our historic G20 hosting.
At the weekend NEC meeting Ramaphosa faced critics directly. He reportedly said anyone who wants him out should name the date —he would resign tomorrow if asked. The room closed ranks behind him, resilient against resignation rumors.
Grassroots Stand Firm
Veterans League president Snuki Zikalala labelled the push “covert and divisive.” Veterans back the president to finish his term.
The Youth League went harder: try removing him and you’ll meet us first. Mpumalanga and branches countrywide pledge loyalty. Ordinary members say change waits for the 2027 conference. Ramaphosa built the Government of National Unity —we need him steering.
These ongoing Ramaphosa resignation rumors collapse against united party support. For families facing tough times, stable leadership beats gossip every day. The president serves until 2027. South Africa needs him fighting for us. Let’s keep the focus where it belongs —on delivery.
