He is under no constitutional obligation to obey. if he does refuse, he will then likely be ousted via a parliamentary vote of no-confidence within days.

Ramaphosa has been in negotiations with Zuma who rejected an earlier request from party leaders to step down more than a week ago.

Meanwhile opposition parties in Parliament have called for the motion of no confidence in Zuma‚ scheduled for February 22‚ to be brought forward to this week.
