This after Ramaphosa told Radio 702 he believed Fezekile Khuzwayo - also known as Khwezi - was raped. 

Khwezi accused Zuma of rape in 2005. 

He was acquitted of the charges. The youth league's regional secretary, Thinta Cibane says they're not surprised by the comments.

"We want to say this - as the ANC, we will never support a man who wants to drag the name of our president, a father to a family and the republic, through the mud and to use the name of the dead in order to become president of the ANC," he says.
