The ANC will withdraw its court application against a painting depicting President Jacob Zuma with his genitals exposed.

"The applicants will withdraw the application currently before the South Gauteng High Court," said Goodman Gallery director Liza Essers, reading from a settlement agreement it had reached with the  ruling African National Congress.

Essers said the painting would not be displayed in the gallery because it had been defaced.

The settlement agreement with the ANC did not include an agreement on removing the picture from the Goodman Gallery's website.

However, she said the image would be taken down from the website  at some point. - Sapa
