South Africa President Jacob Zuma survives Impeachment vote.

South Africa's President Jacob Zuma Tuesday effortlessly scaled through a vote for his impeachment over his unconstitutional  use  of public funds on his private home.
The vote was called by South Africa's main opposition party, the Democratic Alliance, which compared him unfavourably with the late President Nelson Mandela.

Mr Zuma's ANC party - which has a comfortable majority - defeated the parliamentary motion by 223 votes to 143.

The vote followed last week's judgment by the country's constitutional court that Mr Zuma had breached the law by ignoring an order to repay some of the $16m (£11m) he had taken from state funds to pay for doing up his property.
