Zuma faces impeachment move in Parliament

South African President Jacob Zuma faced an impeachment attempt in Parliament on Tuesday after the top court ruled that his spending on his private residence violated the Constitution.

Zuma will almost certainly survive the impeachment vote, which requires a two-thirds majority, as his ruling African National Congress holds an overwhelming number of seats.

Despite rumblings of discontent within the party over a series of scandals involving the president, there is unlikely to be a revolt among ANC lawmakers, particularly as it will not be a secret ballot.
