The son of South Africa’s president has resigned from a company owned by a family accused of wielding undue political influence in the country.<\/p>\n
Duduzane Zuma said he was leaving his position in a mining company owned by the controversial Gupta family due to “a sustained political attack”.<\/p>\n
Both President Jacob Zuma and the Gupta family deny that they influenced the appointment of key ministers.<\/p>\n
President Zuma is facing increased pressure to resign.<\/p>\n
As well as the controversy over the Gupta family, the Constitutional Court recently said the president had violated the constitution by not paying back public money used to upgrade his private residence in Nkandla.<\/p>\n
