OMG...my bet against SA is failing. It's a bag of mixed emotions

Zuma will be gone by Friday. He has become too much of an embarrassment to the ANC and the NEC can see that he has tried to hijack the whole country for himself. The NEC has a meeting with him on Thursday and this may well be the last of him.

I hope so, but remember the NEC is loaded with Zupta acolytes and tenderpreneurs. It's the so called top six (which includes Gwede Mantashe) that want him to disappear. Can they bring weight to bear on the NEC ? I really hope so !

Repo rate up another .25% to 7%.

Our super volatile rand is at R15.14 tonight.

If Zuma keeps his job then this country will be a Mafia led country. The NEC knows this and as much as some of us dislike the ANC, they have some smart and educated people that will not allow this.
RIP Zuma.

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.
