Thousands of EFF members demanding the president's resignation marched on the Union Buildings yesterday- following the release of the State of Capture Report. 


Malema said the EFF will be pushing for a motion of impeachment against Zuma in Parliament.


"We are considering to present a motion on impeachment in Parliament because all of this requires an [honest] president. You can't say the same group you are investigating must be the one that appoints the people who are going to investigate him. It doesn't help us. So the man is deep in the pockets of the Guptas and the demand for him to go is justifiable," he said.
