So secret ballot is on tomorrow - now lets see the MP's vote - pretty much they are damned if they do and damned if they don't. I would just like to see Zuma783 in court facing his charges and giving him his day in court which he has been asking for since 2009. His costs for himself and not the taxpayer >:D

Fairly sure she is paid for and Atul will remain president.

I doubt the ANC members will want to vote themselves out of a job and income. Their families need to eat.

As far as I know only the cabinet members would stand to lose their jobs, not the ordinary members of parliament.

100% correct, they know they will lose their job so he had no problem instructing a secret ballot. I hope I am wrong.

Not quite so P. The market weakened the ZAR thinking the vote would be open the past few days. Now that it is secret, the ZAR has reversed thinking that Zuma would be voted out so the ZAR was happy today.
I personally think this will reverse by tomorrow as Z will not be voted out but I hope I am wrong.

I think the vote tomorrow is on a knife edge. The cabinet and the NEC are keeping Zuma in his position, if Zuma goes they are out, the president loses his pension and criminal charges will be instituted, Nkandla could be converted into an entertainment centre. The ANC lost the Nkandla district in a recent election rerun. I think the MP's that are unhappy with Zuma and his gang will vote against him - he will lose office and so will the cabinet, there are thus opportunities for these MP's to be elevated to MP level.
If the ANC don't take action now with this matter they don't stand a chance of winning in 2019 and then MP's will be ousted so its in their best interests to cut the cancer out now and then concentrate on improving their performance in 2019
Just my take on the situation as it is a zero sum game whichever view you support

Sweat that server! Make it work. Tell it it's lucky, could have been worst, could have been in a bitcoin mine chipping away at bits and bytes
