President Jacob Zuma said on Monday that if the ANC told him it no longer wanted him to serve as party leader he would “walk away”.

Zuma claimed he’d never had an “appetite” for being both ANC boss and president of the country, but conceded he was “not serving reluctantly” as “when the ANC says you serve, you serve”.

Zuma’s leadership is under the spotlight as the ANC’s national elective conference in Mangaung in December draws closer.

“If the ANC says don’t serve today, I will walk away,” he told Talk Radio 702 show host Redi Tlhabi.
