By Alexander Winning and James Macharia PRETORIA/JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - The leadership of South Africa's ruling party went into a special meeting on Monday on President Jacob Zuma, who is mired in corruption allegations, with expectations high that a decision on his fate would be reached by the end of the day. As the executive of the African National Congress (ANC) met in a hotel outside Pretoria, the stage seemed set for a decisive showdown between the 75-year-old leader's allies and those members backing a swift transfer of power to Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa. Zuma's position has weakened since he was replaced as leader of the ANC by Ramaphosa in December though he still holds the state presidency.
