The President of South Africa, Jacob Zuma, will today know his fate after the opposition party called for yet another vote of no confidence.
Although Zuma has survived previous attempts to unseat him, this time there is more pressure since the vote will be in secret ballot, after the Parliamentary Speaker, Baleka Mbete, ordered for a secret ballot. Zuma’s party members from the ruling African National Congress (ANC) might vote against him without fear of reprisal.
Roads were blocked with rocks and burning tyres across Johannesburg and Pretoria, due to the motion of no confidence set to take place in Parliament on Tuesday afternoon according to the police, reports ENCA.
