The ANC has finally taken the decision to recall President Jacob Zuma, following weeks of talks between the National Executive Committee, ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa and Zuma.

Of course, it remains to be seen whether the president will resign, as he is not constitutionally required to accede to the party’s demands. It suggests that a motion of no-confidence will be tabled if Zuma refuses to go.

The press conference was also noteworthy as it was chaired by secretary general Ace Magashule and deputy secretary-general Jessie Duarte, being two of Zuma’s more notable supporters within the party.

Here’s how international publications reported on the news on social media.
