A senior leader of South Africa’s governing African National Congress (ANC) has dismissed speculation that the party is about to sack Jacob Zuma as the country’s president.
Speaking at a press conference after a meeting of the party’s top decision making-body, ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule said, “We have not arrived at the decision [that] Zuma must go or not go.”
There has been intense speculation about Mr Zuma’s future following the election of his deputy, Cyril Ramaphosa, as ANC leader in December.
