ANC NEC grapples with Zuma exit proposal
Proposals are said to include Zuma stepping down in December and the reinstatement of Pravin Gordhan as finance minister

The closed meeting began on Saturday, with critical decisions taken, including allowing party structures to discuss the names of candidates to lead the ANC after its December conference.
