PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jacob Zuma ? South Africa’s ruling Africa National Congress (ANC) party  has decided to formally ask  corruption-dogged President Jacob Zuma  to step down  following a marathon meeting by  the party’s  leadership this week.
 The ANC’s  executive committee gave  the embattled president  a 48-hour deadline to resign  Reuters reports.
 Zuma  has refused repeated calls to relinquish the presidency amid mounting graft scandals and despite the election of deputy president Cyril Ramaphosa as leader in December.  Zuma  who has served as South Africa’s president since 2009   has insisted on seeing out the end of  his  term in mid-2019.
It remains unclear if  Zuma   75  will relent on Tuesday  but if  he  does not   he  is expected to face a vote of confidence in parliament that  he  is likely lose  further jeopardizing  his  grip on power  the BBC reports.
 Zuma ’s popularity has plunged as  his  second presidential term has been married by allegations of corruption and mismanagement of state funds.
In 2016  South Africa’s highest court ruled that  Zuma  violated  his  oath of office when  he  used an estimated $15 million of government money to upgrade  his  private home.  Zuma  later repaid some of the funds  but  the BBC says  a court ruled that parliament failed to properly hold the president to account and must lay down guidelines for impeachment.
In October  South Africa’s Supreme Court of Appeal moved to reopen nearly 800 corruption charges against  Zuma   related to a $2 billion government arms deal in the 1990s.
 Zuma ’s alleged links to South Africa’s influential Gupta family  who are suspected of brokering influence in the government  also led the ANC to open a probe last year.
