He says the Constitutional Court ruling on Nkandla had made it very clear that MPs had to consider the interests of the country first. The motion of no confidence against Zuma is sheduled to be debated during a special sitting of Parliament on 18 April.
The sacking of former Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan as well as the controversial reshuffle of Zuma's cabinet saw a global ratings downgrade of SA to junk status. Since then, opposition parties have unified in their efforts to get Zuma to step down as president resulting in mass marches all accross the country.
Wednesday 12 April has been called a National Day of Action. It is expected that opposition parties and their members will march from Church Square in Pretoria to the Union Buildings. - eNCA
