Amidst growing calls for Zuma to resign, the North West Forum joins opposition parties and other disgruntled members of the ruling ANC to call for Zuma’s removal. The North West Forum made of the Economic Freedom Fighters, Democratic Alliance, Forum 4 Service Delivery, SA Federation of Trade Unions (Saftu) and other trade unions said its been long the affairs of the country has been captured by the few rich and corrupt politicians. Elaborating further on why it want Mahumapelo to step down, Forum chair Bettey Diale said they share the sentiment of the North West Business Forum that Mahumapelo must resign because he is corrupt and unrepentant of his corrupt actions. In February the North West Business Forum protesters (NWBF) called for Mahumapelo to resign, claiming he was corrupted. Like the North West forum, the EFF, DA, IFP, UDM, ACDP, Cope and the APC will be marching to the Union Buildings this week as mounting calls for the president to step down continue.
