There has been much speculation on the fall of Jacob Zuma and his cronies. While some say that he won’t be recalled because of the fracture it will cause within the ANC, others are saying that he has no choice but to step down.

Political analyst Max du Preez provides us with some of his insight into the future of our dear ol’ JZ, and what he should be preparing to do now that the end is coming. He speaks on rural violence, Guptas and the Public Protector:

Now that the balance of power has irrevocably turned against President Jacob Zuma, we should be less concerned with exactly when he’s going to resign than with under what circumstances and with how we’re going to clean up the mess afterwards.

The ANC, opposition parties and civil society should start preparing an exit strategy for Zuma now – should we call it Zexit?

I see several signs that Zuma and his inner circle are now resigned to the fact that he isn’t going to survive politically and that his priorities are now to stay out of jail and to make sure he and his clan keep the hundreds of millions they have gathered during his term in office.

There is a strong argument that Zuma should be hauled before court on the hundreds of charges of corruption and money laundering and that a conviction and jail term would send a powerful message to the citizens that corruption has serious consequences.
