Very interesting and insightful article. News just ia that the non confidence vote will be by secret ballot. In my opinion, I don't think it is going to make a difference. The vote will probably not succeed. I don't think the ANC is ready to have the opposition dictate the nature of politics by ousting their president, flawed and compromised as he is.

In any event, simply removing Zuma is not going to make all the ills of the country and the economy miraculously be rectified overnight. The problems, beginning with the ANC and the patronage networks that have manifested within their ranks, are deep rooted. With Zuma gone, it will probably be business as usual for the ANC elite as too many people are compromised along with him. It will be like substituting the mafia don. It's just a new face and the criminal empire carries on.
