 Lekota's call resounded with many Mbeki supporters who started handing in their resignations to the ANC to join Lekota's movement.Notable resignations include those of former Gauteng premier Mbhazima Shilowa, former Western Cape minister of safety and security Leonard Ramatlakane and Mluleki George.Across the country many regular ANC members also handed in their resignations in public demonstrations, burning their ANC membership cards.
