Zuma not bothered by latest motion of no confidence
President Jacob Zuma says the latest motion of no confidence in him will not succeed.
President Zuma answered questions in the National Assembly hours after the Constitutional Court ruled that National Assembly Speaker Baleka Mbete must decide on a secret ballot.
"Why do you think it will be different this time?" asked President Zuma.
A calm and collected President Zuma said he is not convinced there is a need for a secret ballot when MPs vote on his future as the country's leader.

The President says this secret ballot vote will not have the desired outcome, as the opposition parties would still not have the numbers to oust him from the Union Buildings.
"You are trying to get a majority you don't have by saying secret ballot. I don't think that is fair, because you are trying to increase the majority you don't have," says President Zuma.
President Zuma said he is sure this will not be the last motion of no confidence.
"This is the eight time. I'm sure by the time we get to December, it will be more 10. Maybe it's your job as the opposition."
