African Reporter took to the streets to hear different opinions on how people the vote of no confidence against President Jacob Zuma through the secret ballot will affect the leadership of this country.
Andries Mnguni: " I am not in support of the secret ballot, they must wait for his term to end and allow the citizens to cast their votes and elect their leader."
Phakamile Masilingane:
“I am in support of the motion of no confidence against the president because he has disappointed a lot of people through the years. We will deal with the results later, he must go.”
Phillip Kgetebane:
“Opposition parties should not try to take short-cuts to win power. We refuse to be divided by them. This plot to shake the ruling party will not succeed.”
Samuel Moeketsi:
“I am not happy about the leadership of this country and the sooner Zuma is removed the better. This will save us from being the laughing stock of the world.”
Sizwe Thobela:
“The president was elected by the people of this country and he shall be removed by them, not the opposition parties who are trying to bring division.”
Moses Ngwenya:
“The MPs have received a mandate from the branches which elected them to represent our voice in parliament. They will do what is right and not what opposition parties want.”
Reverand Solly Ngwenya:
“What is happening in parliament today is not the MPs’ voice but that of the people on the ground. Our people are not happy with the leadership of this country.”
George Shabangu:
“I don’t see anything changing moving forward because everything is a mess already. We are not assured that the new leader will be worse or not.”
Jongizizwe Dlabathi:
“The vote of no confidence is a sign that opposition parties want to remove the ruling party from leadership. This should not shake us and we should continue being dedicated to our responsibilities.”
Wilson Busaka:
“We trust the members of parliament to do the right thing, they know that the president was elected and deployed by the party. Opposition parties will not dictate to us who should lead and who shouldn’t.”
