South Africa: Zuma to resume ANC duties 'without delay'

The African National Congress said on Monday (May 15) that its deputy president, Jacob Zuma, would be resuming his duties "without delay" after he stepped down from active duty while his rape trial was under way. Zuma was acquitted of rape in the Johannesburg High Court on May 8. The party also poured cold water on suggestions that any member of the ANC encouraged the complainant in the rape case to lay a charge against Zuma, reports the Mail and Guardian.
