South Africa's African
National Congress party executive committee has decided to "recall" or
remove President Jacob Zuma as head of state, a senior ANC source told
Reuters on Tuesday, after a 13-hour meeting of the party's top
leadership.
Since Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa
was elected party leader in December, Zuma has faced mounting calls
from his party to end his scandal-plagued second term due to run out
mid-2019.
The party's executive committee has
the authority to order Zuma to step down as head of state, although
there is domestic media speculation that he might yet refuse.
