South African President Jacob Zuma on Tuesday agreed in principle to resign within a time frame of three to six months, said African National Congress (ANC) Secretary General on Tuesday.

ANC Secretary General Ace Magashule said this when briefing the media in Johannesburg about ANC's National Executive Committee meeting last night. He said the NEC resolved to recall Zuma and will brief Parliament caucus on Wednesday.
