Former ANC MP Makhosi Khoza says if the African National Congress can charge President Jacob Zuma for bringing it into disrepute, she will return to the ANC.
Speaking on Morning Live, Khoza says she is willing to help her fellow comrades draw up the charges against Zuma.
She says, "I will help them formulate the charges because I have read the Constitution. The whole Rule 25, I have read and I can tell you exactly which rule the President has broken consistently."
"If they do that and begin to charge people who are bringing the name of the ANC into disrepute and not charge people who are trying to save the ANC, I will go back to the ANC."
She says she cannot be expected to continue defending a scandalous president who has cost the ANC so dearly.
On Thursday, Khoza announced that she is resigning from the ANC.
The announcement, which has been speculated on came as no surprise with her current relationship with the organisation.
Khoza has continued to speak out against the governing party saying the ANC wanted to get rid of her and has accused its leadership of lacking principles.
She says the ANC refuses to listen to people like her, they even refuse to listen to stalwarts.
"It is the ANC that moulded my moral character but the current ANC is not insync with the kind of person that I am. They don't allow discussion of challenges of the ANC openly. The organisation is evidently on a downward spiral but the comrades are in denial. They keep saying lets address the issues within as if within it's easy to address the issues."
She has also disputed claims that she will be joining the DA saying it is a lie spread by the Zizi Kodwa and his friends.

ANC yet to receive Khoza's resignation
Meanwhile, the ANC says it still has not yet officially received Makhosi Khoza's resignation.
ANC spokesperson Zizi Kodwa says: "We have not received any letter of intention or reasons for her to quit or resign from the ANC because as a member she would have resigned from the branch first. The caucus of the ANC led by Jackson Mthembu confirmed with us they have not received her resignation. But its preliminary correct to make some observations about her political conduct, which in our view summarises that she had long left the ANC. Not because of what she stood for, but because of her conduct which stands against what the ANC stands for."
