        It's South Africans collectively that'll determine what to do with their country. Elected leaders there, like elsewhere, serve own interests

        African leaders are cowards. Strong and very vocal with the int. Community yet soft and corrupt within their own polity. #shameful

        It is ridiculous that MPs are complaining in public about a deteriorating country but squander the best chance to kick Zuma out.

        It was narrow - substantial number of ANC MPs voted against Zuma, which is significant, seen in context.
