Music industry figure Nota Baloyi has drawn attention to Patriotic Alliance leader Gayton McKenzie's vigorous support for President Cyril Ramaphosa, suggesting no African National Congress member is defending the head of state with comparable intensity. McKenzie cautioned that forcing Ramaphosa from office would constitute a serious error, pointing to economic improvements, including controlled inflation and employment gains under his administration.
The Government of National Unity partners' remarks follow reports that Ramaphosa challenged internal critics to publicly demand his departure rather than engage in concealed discussions. McKenzie revealed that tensions have escalated within ruling party structures, warning against reversing national progress during a period of recovery.
Acting spokesperson Nonceba Mhlauli rejected resignation speculation, confirming leadership elected through the end of the current mandate period will remain in place despite unverified rumors circulating ahead of major party gatherings.
