S. African opposition pushes for urgent motion of no confidence in Zuma
[XINHUANET] Two South African opposition parties on Thursday urged Parliament Speaker Baleka Mbete to schedule an urgent sitting of Parliament for the motion of no confidence in President Jacob Zuma to be debated and voted on.

South Africa cannot continue to be held in limbo while Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa, Zuma and their respective factions continue to fight over the terms of Zuma's exit, Democratic Alliance (DA) leader Mmusi Maimane said.

"We need a swift resolution to this impasse as soon as possible," said Maimane.

This came after Ramaphosa said on Wednesday he and Zuma need more time to conclude their discussions on the transition of power and matters relating to Zuma's position as the President of the Republic.

Maimane said he had consulted with the leadership of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) to push for an urgent anti-Zuma motion of no confidence next Tuesday.
