The South African Communist Party is calling on President Jacob Zuma to terminate his relationship with the Guptas.

The SACP’s Deputy General Secretary, Solly Mapaila, said the movement welcomed the African National Congress’s NEC statement, following its meeting this past weekend.

The statement relayed outcomes of the meeting, including the economy and upcoming local elections.

Mapaila was addressing the South African Clothing and Textile Workers’ Union Bargaining Conference in Cape Town on Monday.

Mapaila also applauded Deputy Minister of Finance, Mcebisi Jonas, for speaking out against members of the Gupta family who allegedly offered him a cabinet post.
