The ANC in KwaZulu-Natal has vowed that the vote of no confidence in President Jacob Zuma will not change anything and that he will emerge from it unscathed. "SA will sleep under President Jacob Zuma on Tuesday and on Wednesday we’ll still be led by [him]‚" declared ANC provincial chairman Sihle Zikalala. Zikalala was addressing the media after the conclusion of the party’s three-day provincial executive committee’s lekgotla in Durban on Monday, shortly before National Assembly speaker Baleka Mbete announced that the vote would be held in secret.
