Morning Star.png White Opposition Wants No-Confidence Vote Against SA's Black President James Tweedie, The Morning Star, London, 4 November 2016 South Africa's [white] opposition sought a no-confidence vote against President Jacob Zuma yesterday - a day after [EFF] protesters called for his resignation in the capital. The Democratic Alliance (DA), the biggest opposition party, said it would push for the motion in the Cape Town parliament next week. The DA forced a no-confidence vote in Mr Zuma earlier this year, losing 233 to 143. Both parties and the foreign-funded "Save South Africa" entity staged separate protests in the administrative capital Pretoria on Wednesday. Former PP's scandals Calls for his resignation have stemmed from a number of scandals including allegations that the president allowed the Guptas - a family of billionaire tycoons - to influence selection of cabinet ministers. These allegations were put forward in a report published yesterday by former public protector Thuli Madonsela. However the ANC welcomed the report saying: "The fight against corruption is not a fight against government. "It requires all stakeholders - particularly business - to commit to ending the vicious cycle by also acting decisively against it in their own ranks." Mbeki in two minds Meanwhile a leaked letter from former president Thabo Mbeki - dated Tuesday - urging Mr Zuma to "engage" with 101 ANC "veterans" calling for his resignation appeared on social media. That contrasted with Mr Mbeki's comments to media the same day that problems in the ANC were "the fault of the collective leadership" and sacking Mr Zuma "would change nothing."
