If I’m not mistaken, a majority of two-thirds of the total house needs to come aboard before impeachment, what is the chance?

There is always a simple solution to a vexatious problem. All it requires is that sufficient ANC MP's follow their conscience and refrain from voting - called abstention - this would solve the 2/3rds requirement. Whether it will happen is another matter entirely.
Personally I don't think anything will happen until the the municipal election results are in, and then the ANC will recall Zuma as they can lay the blame at his doorstep for their poor showing. Its a more acceptable way of exiting Zuma as the phrase "the people have spoken" takes on relevance

Maybe. But he is clearly stretching even the ANC's patience thin. He will be on very thin ice from now on or only president in name while the NEC run the place.

Zuma given standing ovation, I think we can now safely say nothing will happen.

I read the full statement. To me it seems they are backing him for now while collecting more information. I still stand by my post constitutional court ruling date...

Yup but the markets are not going to like this support for Zuma by the NEC/ANC - I think we are going to see a marked sell off tomorrow and the Rand could go beyond R 16 :'(

Why would you film the Brussels happenings with your cell, with a lady lying next to you trying to protect a child or elderly person. Then you go and slap it on the internet, frikkin people of today. When is that mothership getting here to pick me up…

I agree, why aren't you doing something to help, and why do you think the world wants to see that?
