Pretoria - Former public protector Thuli Madonsela says she has not turned down the position of deputy president.
Speaking on the sidelines of president Cyril Ramaphosa's inauguration at Loftus Versfeld stadium in Pretoria, Madonsela told Independent Media that in principle Deputy President David Mabuza should be number two on the ANC's parliamentary list.
"I have not turned down the offer for the the position of deputy president. It is not legally possible for me to be the deputy president. The deputy president should be someone who was on the list for Parliament and I was not on that list," Madonsela said.
