President Zuma’s ‘Fate Will Not Be Discussed’ – ANC

South Africa’s governing African National Congress (ANC) will not discuss the possible removal of President Jacob Zuma from office, at a meeting of its top leadership body today, party secretary-general Ace Magushule has said.

The party’s national executive committee is meeting for the first time since Cyril Ramaphosa was elected ANC leader last month, ending Mr Zuma’s 10-year reign as party boss.

It led to speculation that Mr Ramaphosa, South Africa’s deputy president, will oust Mr Zuma and become the president ahead of general elections next year.
