President Thabo Mbeki has released his deputy Jacob Zuma of his duties.

Mbeki made the announcement during a special joint sitting of the two Houses of Parliament on Tuesday afternoon.

This came almost two weeks after Zuma was implicated in corruption during the Durban High Court trial of businessman Schabir Shaik, who acted as his financial advisor.

With acknowledgement to Sapa.

A most careful choice of words.
