South African President Thabo Mbeki

South African President Thabo Mbeki (above) will accept a call to resign by the governing African National Congress (ANC), his spokesman said yesterday.


Mukoni Ratshitanga said Mr Mbeki would leave his post once "all constitutional requirements have been met".


It comes days after a High Court judge suggested that Mr Mbeki may have interfered in a corruption case against his rival, ANC leader Jacob Zuma.
