Zuma must go, says Nelson Mandela Foundation

The Nelson Mandela Foundation has called for South Africa’s controversial President Jacob Zuma to quit as he faces growing pressure to stand down.
South Africa had seen “systematic looting” under Mr Zuma’s rule, and he “must go sooner rather than later”, the foundation said.
The governing ANC party has called a meeting of its top body for Wednesday to decide on Mr Zuma’s future.
The president has so far resisted calls to quit over corruption allegations.
Mr Zuma, 75, was replaced as party leader by his deputy, Cyril Ramaphosa, 65, in December.
Mr Ramaphosa is now the front runner to succeed him as president.
The president, in power since 2009, is due to make a state of the nation address on Thursday, and some in the party want Mr Zuma to leave office ahead of that speech.
Mr Zuma had “abused the trust” of South Africans and “betrayed the country Nelson Mandela dreamed of”, the foundation, which is run by close colleagues of South Africa’s first black president, said.
“He must go because he has demonstrated that he is not fit to govern. We call on the state to hold him accountable for his actions. Some things cannot be pardoned,” it added in a statement.
Mr Zuma has repeatedly denied corruption allegations.
