South African Police Chief Placed on Leave Amid Reports of Corruption Charges

In South Africa, the national head of the police has been put on leave following an announcement by an independent investigating unit that he is to be charged with corruption. VOA's Scott Bobb reports from Johannesburg.

At a speech Saturday marking the anniversary of the ANC, Zuma called for unity.

"The ANC belongs to all its members equally," he said.  "We want to emphasize that memberships or leadership of the ANC must never be used to marginalize or exclude others."

The ANC, which has dominated South African politics since the end of apartheid 14 years ago, has been divided over the candidacy of Zuma who thwarted Mr. Mbeki's bid for a third term as party president at a congress last month.
