1st LD: S. Africa President Zuma, in TV interview, says disagrees to resign

Xinhua,February 14, 2018 Adjust font size:

JOHANNESBURG, Feb. 14 (Xinhua) -- South African President Jacob Zuma, in an exclusive interview with South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) on Wednesday, says he disagrees with the ruling party decision for him to resign.

President Zuma speaks to the SABC from Union Building in Pretoria. He demands reasons why he must resign and maintains he did nothing wrong.

"It was very unfair to me that this issue is raised...Nobody has ever provided the reasons. Nobody is saying what I have done," he said in the interview.

While expressing his disagreement to resign, Zuma says he is not defying the decision by the leadership of the ruling party, the African National Congress (ANC).

Zuma said that he is going to make a statement later Wednesday on the matter. Enditem
