His remarks follow growing speculation that Ramaphosa may resign after the upcoming G20 summit, which starts this weekend.

Addressing his supporters on Facebook live on Sunday night, McKenzie said tensions within the ANC were escalating.

McKenzie said to his Facebook followers: "Patriots, let me tell you tonight. There's war. The war has started.

"If you check the news, I am told the president told them, 'Give me the date that you want me to resign.'

"Apparently, there are people in dark corners who want the president to go, which would be a massive mistake."
