Embattled President Zuma Associates Arrested Amidst Influence-Peddling Probe



South African police raided the family home of businessmen friends of President Jacob Zuma on Wednesday morning amid a probe into allegations that the family used their links with the president to win state contracts and influence Cabinet appointments.





The raid by the specialist Hawks police unit on the family home of the Guptas came a day after the ruling African National Congress (ANC) ordered Mr Zuma to step down as head of state after nine years in office dogged by scandal and a stagnant economy.


A dozen heavily armed tactical police blocked off a street leading to the Gupta home in Johannesburg. A police officer told Reuters: "This is a crime scene."


Hawks spokesman Hangwani Mulaudzi said the raid was part of an investigation into allegations of influence peddling in the government. The allegations are also the subject of a judicial inquiry on wider corruption. Mr Zuma was expected to respond on Wednesday morning to an order from the ANC to resign as head of state, party officials said.
