David Van Rooyen came, saw and…was fired by President Jacob Zuma just four days later.
Former minister of Finance, Pravin Gordhan is back, so all should be well and the #ZumaMustFall campaign should be dead right? Wrong.
South Africans have taken to Twitter to launch the #ZumaMustStillFall hashtag, stating that no shifting and changing will change the view that the head of state needs to either step down or be fired.
For how long will the real leaders of the ANC be silenced, is this what you sacrificed your lives for? #ZumaMustStillFall

R169 Billion lost… let that sink in! That’s over & above Nkandla, Jets, Trains… & who’s fitting the bill? You & Me. #ZumaMustStillFall

Although there is still some confusion around the precise date of the Zuma Must Fall March (the original is scheduled for this Wednesday), it’s still set to go on as planned, with more people on Facebook signing up to attend.

Another march has been scheduled for the 1st February. The event’s organisers say they are not linked to the 16th December march, so it looks like both will take place on their different dates.
