The JSE closed stronger on Tuesday, as the weaker rand supported miners and rand hedges, despite continued uncertainty on when President Jacob Zuma will leave office. The ANC national executive committee (NEC) has not given Zuma a deadline on when he should resign following his recall by the party. The ANC caucus will meet on Wednesday, but the party said it had not yet brought any motion of no confidence against Zuma. The ANC is also under pressure from opposition parties, who have pushed for a motion of no confidence vote against Zuma, whose tenure has been mired in controversy. The EFF has called on National Assembly speaker Baleka Mbete to bring forward its no-confidence motion, which is scheduled to take place on February 22.
