President Zuma was under much criticism at the National Assembly yesterday as MPs from opposition parties argued their case


Proceedings were initially interrupted when MPs demanded that Speaker Baleka Mbete recuse herself as Chair, saying the impartiality of proceedings is compromised. 


Opposition parties rallied in the call for the president to either step down or be removed. 


Watched by South Africans countrywide, 233 members voted against the motion, 143 voted in favour with no abstentions.


However, the fight is not over as parties vow to once again take the matter to court. 


Below, EFF leader Julius Malema joined other MPs in the call for Mbete not to oversee proceedings.
