JOHANNESBURG - The ANC wants businessman James Motlatsi to withdraw what the party calls divisive comments.
The party scolded Motlatsi for telling EWN that President Cyril Ramaphosa cannot be told by criminals to resign.
Motlatsi said in an interview on Friday that Ramaphosa wanted to resign.
He added that he convinced him to stay put in his position.

He says a Section 89 panel report that found Ramaphosa may have violated his oath of office could be easily reviewed in court.
The ANC says Motlatsi's remarks are insensitive and reckless.
