Twitter users posted their thoughts on the matter:

@goolammv:

"Daughter of Nkosazana Zuma in an all-out mission to support the very corrupt Ace Magashule. These Zuma’s are always on the side of corruption. Zuma’s can never say no to corruption. #RemoveAceMagashule"

@Cheetahplains:

"People will realize that Ace Magashule is not even close to being powerful like Zuma was in 2005. No comparison! Just look at the crowd that is supporting him outside Luthuli house. Zuma had all ANC structures under his spell & was unstoppable. #ANCNEC #RemoveAceMagashule."

@goolammv:

"The writing is on the wall for Ace Magashule as highly respected former President Thabo Mbeki is said to have lambasted the office of the Secretary-General saying it’s at its weakest. Seems like the ANC will Remove Ace Magashule #RemoveAceMagashule."
