#ImpeachZuma still trending on Twitter
The hashtag Impeach Zuma remains one of the biggest talking point on Twitter.
This as MPs voted against the motion to impeach President Jacob Zuma in the National Assembly.
"The results are as follows - the yes are 143 the no's are 233, no abstentions. The motion is therefore not agreed to," said deputy speaker of the National Assembly Lechesa Tsenoli.

DA Leader Mmusi Maimane and EFF Leader Julius Malema says the majority has voted against the constitution.
Members of the IFP, COPE and FFP are among the parties that showed their support for the DA's motion to have the President impeached.
They've been calling for the President to step down since last week's Constitutional Court's ruling.
The President has since apologised for the length of time it took to resolve the matter saying he never deliberately and knowingly violated the constitution.
In the National Assembly yesterday, Maimane said South Africans were taken for fools by Zuma and ANC Secretary General Gwede Mantashe by saying that he was badly advised and that he was always going to comply with the Public Protector's report.
The ANC might have won the votes to prevent Zuma's impeachment, but it certainly did not win the argument- says ANC veteran Ben Turok

So the deal was for Mbete to sit in the chair for a few minutes to save face and then be replaced by Lechesa Tsenoli? #ImpeachZuma

Maybe a bit less praying and a bit more studying of the Constitution is required. #ImpeachZuma
