South African President, Jacob Zuma has just survived a vote of no confidence procedure that could have led to his impeachment.

Despite the ballot being held in secret, opposition parties had hoped the secret vote would mean Members of Parliament from the governing African National Congress (ANC) might side with them against the president.

But Zuma narrowly survived by 198 votes in his favour to 177 votes against him while 9 MPS abstained.

In order for the no-confidence motion to pass, at least 50 out of the ANC's 249 MPs would have had to vote against the president. However, the result means at least 26 ANC MPs rebelled, while another nine MPs abstained from voting.

Shibuke, stop disgracing your lineage. You think RSA is like your village association where the person with the most criminal records wins?

Let me educate you. Once a Vote of No Confidence is passed, the President has no choice but to resign along with all members of his cabinet.

Zuma is becoming another sit-tight leader

Na for Nigeria our president go dey chill for London still our senators no go send.

Now this is democracy.


With 9ja you will see it all. Chukwudi eh.

God knows Efo can never survive any impeachment attempt

Buhari can NEVER survive this if it were to be in this country!!!

Infant the vote would be:
Total number of members:300
Total number of votes: 290
Total number of members who voted YES: 245
Total number of members who voted against :55

Tribal- religious sentiments will counter it...

They never intended impeaching him . This is just to make their citizens believe in them. Africa still dey far.

Reminds me of Honourable Julius malema..aka Juju

Nigerian politicians will never do this because they value their party than the country.

How did I even get to this country.

We don't need this o, our president must not narrowly escape his. He must be impeached
