Pressure continues to mount on President Jacob Zuma, with trade union Nehawu now also calling on him to step down for the good of the country and the African National Congress.

 They've become the first Cosatu member to say Zuma should step down. Nehawu's first deputy president Mike Shingange says they know many parts of the ANC are now going to hit back at them for making this call.

The Nelson Mandela Foundation, meanwhile, has also slammed Zuma and government.

 It says there's been a weakening of critical institutions, such as the South African Revenue Service and National Prosecuting Authority, through political meddling.
