Johannesburg (February 05, 2018): South African President Jacob Zuma is under growing pressure to step down following talks with senior members of his ANC party on Sunday.
Details of the talks were not revealed but party leaders are to hold an emergency meeting on Monday.
Mr Zuma, who faces corruption allegations, was replaced as ANC leader by Cyril Ramaphosa in December.
He refused to resign and he told them to take a decision to remove him if they so wish to do so because he didn’t do anything wrong to the country. He’s arguing that he complied with all legal instructions including paying back the money, what more do they want from him

Analysts say party chiefs want to avoid a power struggle that could split the ANC before elections next year.
They are expected to begin the process to remove President Zuma through a formal recall or by introducing a motion in parliament.
