2016-11-02 1 Dailymotion

A further blow has been dealt to the embattled South African President.<br /><br /> A report by an anti-corruption watchdog is recommending a commission of inquiry be set up within 30 days to probe claims of influence peddling in government. <br /><br /> The release of the report came after Jacob Zuma lifted a court application to try to block its publication. <br /><br /> The Nelson Mandela Foundation this week also called for the sacking of Zuma; the ruling ANC Party says it is studying the new report.<br /><br /> Fana Mokoena, a spokesperson for the Economic Freedom Fighters group, told reporters: “He is under siege now even from his own quarters. The ANC (the ruling party the African National Congress) is speaking out loud against him and society. <br /><br /> “I think, has come to realise that we have come to the end of the road for him.”<br /><br /> The release of the report came as thousands of protesters marched towards Zuma’s offices in Pretoria and called for him to resign. <br /><br /> Some commentators say the new development could lead to the biggest crisis yet for the Zuma presidency.<br />
