Zuma disagrees with ANC's decision of recall
President Jacob Zuma says the matter of the ANC's call for his resignation has been handled unfairly.
Zuma says the ANC is yet provide reasons for his removal.
"I even asked - what is this hurry. What are you rushing for? In the process of the discussion, it was clear that people are saying Zuma must go. My problem was that this is not a new thing. It has been said the entire year - including the 101 [ANC veterans]. They themselves did not provide reasons," he says.
President Jacob Zuma has been exclusively speaking to the SABC, following the decision of the ANC National Executive Committee and the ANC's Parliamentary Caucus to have him recalled.

He says the ruling party has not followed its own policies - by not detailing the reasons for his removal.
The president has been ordered to tender his resignation today.
