ANC Says Zuma Must Fall

South Africa's ruling African National Congress (ANC) has formally asked President Jacob Zuma to resign "for the sake of the country". The party's National Executive Committee decided the removal should be "treated with urgency" and that they expect President Zuma to respond to their decision on Wednesday, although they had given him no deadline.
