South Africa: Zuma urged to step down

The ruling ANC is losing popularity in South Africa amid a weakening economy and claims of corruption surrounding President Jacob Zuma. The South African leader has reportedly refused to step down after he met senior officials of the African National Congress on Sunday. The ANC fears the worst in next year's elections and wants President Zuma to be replaced by Cyril Ramaphosa, the man who replaced him as head of the ANC in December. Journalist Samkele Maseko explains how the South African political drama is likely to unfold.
