South Africa's ruling ANC party has reinstated Jacob Zuma as deputy leader after he was acquitted of rape last week.
Mr Zuma asked to be relieved of his duties in November last year when a rape charge was laid against him, but he has made it clear after last Monday's not guilty verdict that he wants to resume his political career.
Mr Zuma is still seen by his supporters as a possible future president.
He faces a separate trial on corruption charges in July.
