"Vote of no confidence". This is a phrase that became synonymous with former president Jacob Zuma's term of office. Opposition parties, deeming him unfit to hold the top office in the land, started calling for him to step down as early as 2010. The calls were intensified in Zuma's last five years in office following then public protector Thuli Madonsela's report on Nkandla.
The net is tightening about corruption-accused Eastern Cape premier Oscar Mabuyane, with opposition parties closing ranks in their drive for his removal from office.
