Jacob Zuma painting removed from South African gallery

Breaking news

A South African art gallery has agreed not to display a controversial painting of President Jacob Zuma with his genitals exposed after reaching a deal with the ANC.

The painting has sparked fierce debate about the balance between freedom of expression and the right to dignity.

Hundreds of ANC supporters protested outside the gallery on Tuesday.

The painting was defaced last week. It will also be removed from the Goodman Gallery's website.
