NATIONAL NEWS - The African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) in the party’s Dullah Omar Region has described Tuesday’s motion of no confidence in President Jacob Zuma as an attempted coup.
Today marks the opposition’s eighth bid to unseat the president, but this time it will be different as Members of Parliament (MPs) will vote through a secret ballot.
Protesters will take to the streets of the Cape Town City Centre today both in support of and against Jacob Zuma.
The league’s Roscoe Jacobs says: “As the ANCYL in the Dullah Omar region, we call on young people to join the ANC march in defence of democracy in the Cape Town CBD.
“We believe that the vote of no confidence is an attempted coup and not in the interest of us as the youth of South Africa.”
Meanwhile, ANC Chief Whip Jackson Mthembu is confident his party’s MPs won’t vote to remove Zuma.
