Wits University Vice Chancellor Adam Habib has called for the ANC to remove President Jacob Zuma from office.

In a spate of Twitter posts on Thursday, Habib lamented Zuma’s poor leadership saying he should be recalled.

Zuma on Wednesday shocked the nation when he recalled Nhlanhla Nene as minister of finance. The move saw the rand plummet with economists and political analysts saying domestic and foreign investment had been compromised.

Critics have called Nene’s replacement, David van Rooyen, a political puppet with little experience.In further tweets Habib pleaded with ANC members saying only they could remove Zuma.

Well known ANC member Shaka Sisulu also broke rank condemning the removal of Nhlanhla Nene as finance minister.

Sisulu is best known for his part in the ANC Youth League task team in 2013 after the organisation’s structures were disbanded.

His grandfather was ANC stalwart and icon Walter Sisulu and his father is previous National Assembly speaker Max Sisulu. His mother is activist and writer Elinor Sisulu.

In a series of Twitter posts, Sisulu clearly voiced his disdain at the decision.
