South Africa’s President Jacob Zuma on Wednesday (February 14) branded as “unfair” demands from the ruling ANC party for him to stand down. Zuma, 75, denies any wrongdoing and it remains unclear whether he will throw in the towel or dig in deeper. Police raided the family home of businessmen friends of President Jacob Zuma on Wednesday amid a probe into allegations that the family used their links with the president to win state contracts and influence Cabinet appointments. A police officer told Reuters: “This is a crime scene.” Zuma and the Guptas, a family of wealthy Indian-born businessmen, deny any wrongdoing. The Guptas are accused by the anti-graft watchdog of using the friendship with Zuma to amass wealth.
