about how jacob zuma spend money on his estate. farfrom being a reformer, this is a man who has been deeply embedded in the old anc elite. that is one view. ramaphosa is one contestant, there will be other people competing for that as well. there will be a crossroads at some point. he will be able to put his credentials before you. like many others, he has strong credentials. the creator of the national union of mineworkers. a key negotiator who gave us the basis for the first democratic elections. the 1996 final constitution in south africa as well. all of us have pluses and minuses. i think for a significant number of people, perhaps some of the minuses that you point out... it is not about what you have done or not done, the key is who has a singular adherence to the principles of the anc and is willing to take south africa out of the mess it finds itself in, particularly economically as i pointed out. we need growth well above the 0.5,1% pointed out. we need growth well above the 0.5, 1% growth. we need to create jobs on above

jacob zuma says it is a matter of loyalty. during the apartheid, many people wanted to destroy the anc, apartheid representatives themselves included. jacob zuma is saying to the south african public, if you move against me, you're notjust damaging me but the entire party, letting our enemies and opponents win. how do you respond? very simply. there is a lot of reflecting that the president needs to do about what and whom is causing damage to the reputation of the anc, resulting in the increasing lack of trust and the deficit of trust that there is between south african citizens and our organisation. our aim is to increase the level of trust to sustain the support for the south african national congress, and ensure they are in a position to win the election in 2019. others might have a short—term objective of participating in the looting of the state for their personal benefit. let's not get ahead of ourselves talking about 2019 elections. talking about the anc choice as to who should lead the party afterjacob zuma. his term

zuma supporters are still singing as they wait for the president jacob zuma supporters are still singing as they wait for the presidentjacob zuma to address them. thejustice secretary has approved the transfer of murderer kenneth noye to an open prison. noye, who's 70, was given a life sentence in 2000, for murdering stephen cameron in a road rage attack on the m25. the move follows a recommendation by the parole board. the parents of a seven year old boy — with a rare genetic disorder — have won the latest stage in their fight to get the nhs to pay for treatment they believe would be life changing. the child, known as s, has a rare condition which inhibits his ability to digest protein. the nhs has refused to fund a drug which could help control his condition on the grounds that it was ineffective. but today, a high courtjudge rejected that conclusion, as our legal affairs correspondent clive coleman reports. seven—year—old s, we cannot give his name for legal reasons, has the rare condition pku. if he has more than 12 grams of protein a day, which you would find in three slices

obviously, this is a victory for the anc and jacob zuma. does it mean they fully support him, though? christine: no, it does not mean that. we saw today parliament was anc defending the anc. everybody who stood up on the part of the anc to take part in the debate -- nobody defended jacob zuma. everybody defended the party. you could tell this was about the party. they could not come out and accept an opposition movement to oust their leader. that was political suicide. that is never going to happen on the part of anc mp's. we heard a party saying to the public of south africa, we have to save the party. that means we have to protect this guy. sarah: why is the opposition also seeing this as a victory? how is that possible? christine: we went to secret ballot. some anc members voted in favor of ousting the president. some were saying this would not happen if this was an open ballot, so we have a small victory. they are looking at this uncertain number -- it is a secret ballot -- and saying, we managed to convince some anc mp's to vote with t

president jacob zuma is a tough politician. he has been in prison for ten years on robben island fighting white minority rule alongside nelson mandela, he does not give up easily. but there is a hidden message in his success tonight for him. 35 members of his own party were really keen to see him go. 26 voted with the opposition and nine abstained. this means that all is not well back in the anc. so now he will celebrate just for a brief moment, but he will have to regroup and think very hard about how the road to december will bea about how the road to december will be a long one because in december thatis be a long one because in december that is when the anc meets to elect new leaders and his preferred successor, his ex—wife, is challenging the deputy president for that post. this means president zuma may not even reach december because there is so much discontent within there is so much discontent within the anc. is it not the case that he might well lose the leadership of the anc, but he could go on as president until 20

so what will finally toppled jacob zuma then? i know he is stepping down as head of the anc in september this year, but he remains president in theory since 2019. i suppose zexit, as you could call it, will happen. it's a matter of when rather than if. till 2019, he will hope to stay in power by having his former wife the head of the party, which he hopes will protect him, perhaps allow him to stay on npower little longer, and hopefully avoid prosecution in his eyes. in the meantime, what will happen to the south african economy? it's taken quite a heavy hit. we mentioned the event, pravid gordan being shuffled out of his position. you mentioned the rand, just after the secret ballot was announced, it increased 296 ballot was announced, it increased 2% against the dollar. essentially any meaningful reforms that can improve the economic situation, we are forecasting considerably less than 1% growth this year. basically all reforms that would help redress the situation are off the table. internal politicking will dominate the headl

her crime — to speak out in public against south africa's president jacob zuma. yeah... the stress is showing. dr khoza is an mp for the governing anc but she's broken ranks, calling for the president to step down. if we get threatened, our lives get threatened because we express particular political views, that begins to tell you that you are actually officially in a dictatorship. in public, the anc‘s leaders still pretend they're united. but president zuma himself admits a ferocious power struggle is under way. there is a war that is silent, eroding the very existence of the african national congress. that war is about power and money. mr zuma and his allies are accused of looting the state, of monstrous corruption, it's a charge they deny but leaked e—mails are fuelling new allegations and alarming many. i think every south african is very, very worried about what is happening and we are hoping for a miraculous solution. some believe that solution could take the form of an upcoming vote here in parliament on whether to remove president zuma from office. but there'

the argument is that the anc and jacob zuma has been ca ptu red that the anc and jacob zuma has been captured by a wealthy indian migrant family and that they have established this machinery which has brought out large parts of the state resulting in the loss of limbs of money in terms of corruption. a good deal of which has gone abroad to places like dubai so there is huge dissatisfaction against a background ofan dissatisfaction against a background of an economy that is also not doing very well and so there are obvious complaints that the corruption is the last thing that south africa needs. this is bbc news at five — the headlines: the government announces proposals to make it easierfor people to force social media companies to delete personal data. north korea vows to retaliate and make "the us pay a price" for un a british woman has been injured after being shot while on a family holiday in brazil. 46 year old eloise dixon from south east london is recovering in hospital. england are heading towards victory in the fourth and final test against south africa at old trafford. th

guest: the vote just showed come i think the margin of victory was very slight for jacob zuma. so we roll onto the next event, probably at the end of the year when the anc appoints a new leader. politics is going to continue to be the driver here. i don't think the agencies are going to take any relief from zuma's reappointment and success. the market will remain a negative one, i suspect. until you get some greater clarity about the future of south africa in terms of its political outlook, i think the market sentiment and investor sentiment is going to remain relatively negative, and the yields tell the story. probably exacerbated by dollar strength, over well. i suspect we will remain in that's twice in until the next -- in that situation until the next political story evolves. it seems that we are getting more and more headlines. not only in south africa, but also venezuela and brazil. relative to what is happening in asian emerging markets, there seems to be more negative news flow when it comes to africa and latin america. would you say that asian emerging markets are more

the south african president, jacob zuma, has narrowly survived a parliamentary vote of no confidence against him. the parents of a seven year old boy — with a rare genetic disorder — have won the latest stage in their fight to get the nhs to pay for treatment they believe would be life changing. the child, known as s, has a rare condition which inhibits his ability to digest protein. the nhs has refused to fund a drug which could help control his condition on the grounds that it was ineffective. but a high courtjudge rejected that conclusion, as our legal affairs correspondent clive coleman reports. seven—year—old s, we cannot give his name for legal reasons, has the rare condition pku. if he has more than 12 grams of protein a day, which you would find in three slices of bread, he could suffer permanent brain damage. he also has severe autism and can't talk and so managing his diet is exceptionally difficult. s's nhs consultant applied for him to have a drug called kuvan which allows him to have more protein, but it costs £100 a day and nhs england has refused to fund it on
