If #ANC fails to vote against #Zuma today, they certainly will be voted out in 2019. Today they're voting for THEIR future... #SecretBallotpic.twitter.com/gNtLru0Ojh

A lot of people are taking Pres Zuma for granted, this man is not a walkover, he is a strategist and always has a plan.
wait and see.
