Several key South African ministers have resigned in protest at the forced exit of President Thabo Mbeki.
Finance Minister Trevor Manuel is the most prominent lawmaker to join the protest action, alongside four cabinet colleagues and three deputy ministers. The dispute is shaping up to become the country's worst political crisis since the end of apartheid. Parliament was widely expected, in two days time, to endorse Kgalema Motlanthe as South Africa's new President until next year's elections.
