Protests in Pretoria as South Africans call for Jacob Zuma to resign.

According to a report by Guardian news, thousands of South African people have joined protests calling for the resignation of Jacob Zuma , who has been enmeshed in scandals that critics say are undermining the country’s democracy.

The protests on Wednesday in the administrative capital of Pretoria came as opposition lawyers argued in court for the prompt release of a state watchdog report about allegations that a family linked to the president sought to influence some cabinet post selections to benefit its own business interests.



The president has withdrawn a bid to block the release of the report, said his lawyer, Anthea Platt.
