Thousands of demonstrators have gathered in the South African capital Pretoria for protests urging President Jacob Zuma to step down. Today's march to Union Buildings, the official seat of government, was organised by a coalition of opposition parties following nationwide rallies against Mr Zuma last week. <br/><br/>The President's recent dismissal of Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan stoked public anger over government corruption scandals, record unemployment and slowing economic growth.<br/><br/>The march was led by the leftist Economic Freedom Fighters party, along with the Democratic Alliance and smaller opposition parties.
