SOUTH AFRICAN President Jacob Zuma faces a vote of no confidence scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, having said today that he would not resign.

In an unannounced television interview, Mr Zuma said that the call by the leadership of the African National Congress (ANC) for him to step down was “very unfair,” claiming that no-one could tell him why he should go.

“I asked [the ANC leadership] as to what was the problem. Why must I be persuaded to resign, have I done anything wrong? And of course, the officials couldn’t provide what I have done,” Mr Zuma said.
