ANC orders Zuma to step down as South African president
By Alexander Winning and James Macharia JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South Africa's ruling party ordered Jacob Zuma on Tuesday to step down as head of state after marathon talks over the fate of a leader whose scandal-plagued years in power darkened and divided Nelson Mandela's post-apartheid 'Rainbow Nation'.

There was no word from Zuma or his spokesman but Magashule said the president had promised to respond to the order by Wednesday.
