South Africa's Deputy President David Mabuza on Saturday confirmed that he has resigned.
Mabuza lost out at the African National Congress (ANC) elective conference in December where he was succeeded by Paul Mashatile as Deputy President of the party.
Mabuza was also not present at the party's National Executive Committee (NEC) lekgotla, and Cabinet lekgotla.
Reports of Mabuza's resignation began to circulate on January 24, after Gauteng ANC chairperson and premier, Panyaza Lesufi, told the media that the party’s newly-elected deputy president, Paul Mashatile, would be sworn in as an MP in the coming weeks.
Mashatile's return to parliament will pave the way for President Cyril Ramaphosa to name him as the country’s deputy president.
