Senior politician in South Africa's ANC urges party leaders to quit

JOHANNESBURG, Oct 23 (Reuters) A senior member of South Africa's ruling ANC urged its top leaders including President Jacob Zuma to quit today, saying fraud charges against Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan reflected an abuse of power to settle political scores within the party.
ANC parliamentary chief whip Jackson Mthembu's comments come a week after Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa publicly expressed support for Gordhan, saying the case against him should not be allowed to undermine his efforts to revive the economy.
Prosecutors have ordered Gordhan to appear in court on Nov. 2, in what his supporters and analysts say is an attempt to muzzle the Treasury over its criticism of the undue political influence exerted by a wealthy family close to Zuma.
