ANC leaders take on Zuma

The ANC will reportedly call on Jacob Zuma to account for statements he made during his rape trial. According to the Sunday Times, the party’s National Executive Committee has instructed senior leaders to summons Zuma. It is understood he will be asked to prove that he is the victim of a conspiracy to prevent him from succeeding Thabo Mbeki as president, as he repeatedly implied during the trial. The paper reports that Zuma will also be asked to explain his statement that after having sex with an HIV-positive woman, he took a shower to minimise his risk.
