Zuma survives again despite mutiny by some ANC MPs
Enough ANC MPs stuck by President Jacob Zuma to help him survive yet another parliamentary vote of no confidence yesterday, despite a “mutiny” by almost 30 of its MPs.
The motion brought by the opposition needed to secure 201 of the 400 votes in parliament to succeed, but fell short with 177 votes, National Assembly Speaker Baleka Mbete announced.
