President Jacob Zuma has survived a gruelling attack on his leadership from within the African National Congress National Executive Committee (NEC). The “surprise” motion by Tourism minister Derek Hanekom for Zuma to step down or be recalled was defeated. There was no voting, but more people on Monday spoke for and against the motion. Insiders say Zuma’s defenders had regrouped, and dominated the speaker’s list. This was perhaps Zuma’s toughest political battle since Polokwane in 2007.
