Jacob Zuma: South Africa president 'rejects ANC request' to stand down
South Africa's President Jacob Zuma has defied his party and refused to step down, according to media reports.
He and senior members of the African National Congress (ANC) held talks on Sunday but no details of their meeting have been released.
Facing corruption allegations, Mr Zuma was replaced as ANC leader in December.
Party leaders, who may be trying to oust Mr Zuma before his State of the Nation address later this week, will hold an emergency meeting on Monday.
Julius Malema, an opposition leader and former ANC member, said on Twitter that Mr Zuma had been asked to stand down but had refused.
