Protesters urge South Africa's Zuma, top ANC leaders to quit party posts

By James Macharia JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Members of South Africa's ANC chanted slogans outside its headquarters on Monday demanding President Jacob Zuma step down in a rare public show of anger in the ruling party after its worst election performance since the end of apartheid in 1994. The demonstrators argue that Zuma, whose rule has been tainted by scandal, is responsible for the African National Congress (ANC) losing control of three major urban centers in local elections last month by mismanagement of the economy that is now teetering on the edge of recession. Political analysts say Gordhan is the target of an ANC faction allied to Zuma.
