South Africa Moves To Impeach President by suasmablow(m): 11:29am On Nov 05, 2016
South Africa’s President, Jacob Zuma, will face a
no-confidence vote in parliament next week with his
presidency mired in crisis, after investigators documented allegations of government corruption.
The vote was called by the main opposition,
following a report by the country’s anti-corruption
watchdog calling for a judicial inquiry into
allegations of influence-peddling in the ANC
Government.
The report was finally released after the president
withdrew a court bid to delay its publication in the
face of mass public protests by thousands of
people who took to the streets to demand that he
should resign from office.
Police used stun grenades and water cannon to
disperse protesters in Pretoria carrying ‘Zuma must
go’ placards.
Mmusi Maimane, leader of the main opposition
Democratic Alliance (DA), told a news briefing in
Cape Town that the no- confidence debate and vote was scheduled for November 10.
“This motion should not be viewed as a partisan
motion – we do not see it as a DA motion,” he said.
“I know there are ANC MPs and cabinet ministers
who have had enough.
“They have an opportunity to actually do something
about their anger by Nov. 10.”
Zuma has survived his two previous no-confidence
votes this year, largely backed by the support of his
ANC (African National Congress) which controls about two-thirds of the Assembly.
However, there have been widening fissures in the
ruling party this year due to growing discontent with
the scandals that have plagued Zuma’s presidency and played a role in the ANC suffering its worst electoral losses
since the end of apartheid in municipal polls in
August.
