Nelson Mandela Foundation (NMF) has called out on Jacob Zuma to be sack as South Africa's President

President Jacob Zuma

President Jacob Zuma has failed South Africans and he should be sacked, says Nelson Mandela Foundation (NMF).

He had "failed the test" of leadership and South Africa needed to hold to account those who were "looting" state resources, it said.

The more reason why, is that President Zuma has been accused so many times of corruption in decades now.

The first black President of South Africa's colleague is the head of the Nelson Mandela Foundation and the foundation is calling on the public to go out in mass to protest.

Its intervention came as a court began hearing a bid by Mr Zuma's legal team to prevent the release of a report by former anti-corruption chief Thuli Madonsela.

In all these allegation President Jacob Zuma and other prominent figures in the country have denied any form of corruption charges

In a statement entitled Time to account for crippling the state, the NMF said the governing African National Congress (ANC) needed to take steps to put the government back in "safe and capable hands".

"Twenty years since Nelson Mandela signed South Africa's constitution into law and as the third anniversary of his passing approaches, it is painful for us at the Nelson Mandela Foundation to bear witness to the wheels coming off the vehicle of our state," the NMF added.

The great Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela spent more than 27 years in prison for fighting white-minority rule and became South Africa's first democratically elected leader in 1994. He stepped down five years later and died in December 2013 at the age of 95.

The foundation said South Africa's democracy was now under a "real threat", with key government institutions being used to advance "private interests and again said, "We are reaping the results of a political trend of personalizing matters of state around a single individual leader. This in a constitutional democracy is to be deplored," it added.
