3 ways to get rid of a president
Cape Town – With increasing pressure on President Jacob Zuma to resign or for the ANC to remove him, it is worth noting that there are three ways that a South African president can leave office before the five-year term comes to an end.
Motion of no confidence
This is mandated by Section 102 of the Constitution.
A majority of the members of the National Assembly is needed to pass such a motion. If passed, the president, Cabinet and deputy ministers must resign.
If this happens, the president still keeps the benefits afforded to a former president.
