The following are news highlights of major South African media outlets on Sunday.

- The board of trustees of former South African President Nelson Mandela's charitable foundation is seeking an urgent meeting with the governing African National Congress after the country's highest court found President Jacob Zuma violated the country's constitution.

Calls for Mr. Zuma, 73, to step down by ANC veterans, church and civil-society organizations and business leaders have intensified since the Constitutional Court ruled on March 31 that the president "failed to uphold, defend and respect the constitution."(Business Day)

- Just hours after an emotional meeting with his executives on Thursday, where he told them he was resigning from his business empire, Ajay Gupta left for Dubai with his brother Atul on their luxurious private jet.

At 11 p.m. that night, and with a mountain of luggage loaded onto the business jet ZS-OAK, the brothers, together with one of their wives and five of their assistants, left Lanseria Airport - likely for good.(City Press) Enditem
