South Africa: Zuma brushes off calls to resign from his own party
SOUTH AFRICAN President Jacob Zuma brushed off an internal challenge to his leadership of the ruling ANC yesterday.
A vote of no confidence in Mr Zuma was expected to be held at the weekend meeting of the party’s national executive, which was extended for an extra day to deal with it.
The challenge was reportedly led by Tourism Minister Derek Hanekom and tabled on Saturday while several Zuma allies were away at a wedding in Cape Town.
