S Africa unions to Zuma: Time to go
4 April 2017 Africa
South Africa's powerful trades union federation Cosatu has called for President Jacob Zuma to step down.
Its Secretary General Bheki Ntshalintshali said he is no longer the "right person" to lead the country.
Mr Zuma has been under growing pressure following a major cabinet reshuffle which included the sacking of trusted Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan.
That led to South Africa's credit rating being cut to junk status putting more pressure on a troubled economy.
The Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu), a key part of the governing alliance, says it has 1.8 million members.
