Presidency Spokesperson Bongani Ngqulunga says the allegations reported in the media that President Jacob Zuma wishes to fire deputy president Cyril Ramaphosa and replace him with Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma are baseless lies.
He says the allegation of ethnic mobilization by the President are equally without foundation.
The South African Communist Party released a statement demanding answers from President Zuma on alleged plans to fire Ramaphosa.
The party also challenged the President to deny or confirm the allegations.
