Article: Mbete says Zuma will not answer today

Speaker Baleka Mbete told EFF MPs Godrich Gardee that President Jacob Zuma would answer questions next week.

"Members will have an opportunity to debate and respond to the address by the president and the sitting scheduled for next week... This is not a question session," she said after MPs demanded that Zuma pay back the money for security upgrades on his Nkandla residence.
 
The ANC will probably state that neither the DA or the EFF was present when the SONA was delivered, exempting their participation. It seems that the ANC can do anything now...

That takes skill..

I expect the president to miraculously have an emergency to deal with next week, and ever week thereafter until he is no longer president.

Which will be next elections if every ANC supporter dusted off their brain and placed it back into their heads
 
Zuma will not be able to make it to those meetings.... he will be too busy dealing with "lots of big problems".....
 
Many a male, from guys in EFF to guys in DA will be afraid of that woman from now on. That one DA dude who was so apologetic to that other woman next to Mbete when he couldn't get her honorific right.... :) He sounded like a terrified schoolboy wanting to address his schoolmistress.
 
he has already run his two terms and so cannot be president again after this term.

except if the ANC decide to change the laws

Zuma doesn't have to be President of the country to remain in power - just president of the ANC.

The real power in SA lies in Luthuli House not parliament until the ANC losses its majority! :(

The anc resolved not to allow two centres of power develop after Mbeki tried playing puppet master by being reelected anc president for a third term. So Zuma will likely step down, but he's already stacked the deck so whomever comes after him doesn't cause him problems using state organs.
 
The constitution limits a president to two consecutive terms.

Which requires a 2/3 rds majority to change which the ANC does not have. There was thought if they combined with EFF for the change they could but I don't see that happening at this stage.
