And revealed for the first time the official portraits of iraq and michelle obama. Are more welcome to the program our top story south africa is the countrys state media is reporting that president jacob zuma has been given forty eight hours to resign the decision comes after a marathon meeting held by the ruling a. N. C. Partys National Executive committee to finalize whom his future in the last hour the president of the Party Cyril Ramaphosa was on his way to meet zuma to inform him of the partys decision hes facing a number of allegations of corruption but has refused to stand down before his term ends next year and ill speak on the phone to for me to miller whos in johannesburg and for me given where the a. N. C. Stands i suppose no surprise that they would have reached this decision for jacob zuma to leave within forty eight hours but does it mean that he will do that. Well all indications so far that the president has certainly been very reluctant to stand down even when the top six leadership of the a. N. C. Put this resignation to zoom a week ago he hadnt stepped down then either and in the days after that hes essentially ignored these calls to resign he has been in talks with durham opposer the president of the a. N. C. Trying to negotiate some sort of exit deal local reports indicate that most of them that they go she ancient and the conditions around an exit had to do with an indemnity from any sort of prosecution security for his family and also trying to stay in office for at least another three months but we understand from the staple cost of the s. A. B. C. That hes now been given forty eight hours to resign and thats offer the merest in meeting of the National Executive committee its the highest Decision Making body of the a. N. C. Now as important as this any c. Is it doesnt actually have the power to remove a sitting head of state if the summa chooses not to resign after they speak to him and ask him to do so the only option for the a. N. C. Would then be to take this matter to call him and and proceed to with a motion of no confidence in the president a position parties have done exactly that they scheduled to debate a motion of no confidence next week theyve acted fact aust the presiding officer of parliament to bring this forward to this week saying if thats not done that approach the courts to push was too much to be removed but at this point it seems as if the boy is in the court of the a. N. C. Which is very much wanted to find a solution. The problem with in the party theres a lot of christian to to have a decisive plan Going Forward we understand that this should be an answer coming from the president in the next forty eight hours if not the a. N. C. Would have to reconsider its options right it seems as though from what you say the opposition might just be one step ahead of the a. N. C. Because like you say there is already a motion tabled of the next day i think he said by the opposition for a no confidence motion but how important is it for the a. N. C. To really put their stamp on this and to bring this motion forward for it to be under that terms. Its vital for the a. N. C. We saw in the last election that the National Support had dropped quite significantly theres been a lot of pressure to have jacob zuma step down and the a. N. C. Has been heavily criticized criticized essentially for protecting this president who has moved from one scandal to another throughout his time in office the public has looked for some sort of direction for the a. N. C. For the a. N. C. To pull itself away from this image that it has in terms of the scandals that have surrounded jacob zuma so its very important for the a. N. C. To to be the ruling party that makes the difference in this case and that so remote poser isnt just a new party leader so grab just by the old guard that is known to be corrupt but one that is actually making a difference within the a. N. C. Uniting the party especially after all this division of around jacob zuma and what exactly should be done the a. N. C. Has been very reluctant to listen and has ultimately protected jacob zuma around seven or eight other motions of no confidence in column and never voting along the lines of the opposition and being very reluctant to step in line with what the opposition wants and this is part of the frustration i think from South Africans at this point that the country feels as if its been hell granted by one party and one man despite the sentiment in south africa for a long time now and so the a. N. C. Really is under pressure to properly read the mood of people in south africa and act decisively and always in the end he has a very unique place in Public Opinion in south africa there will still be a lot of support for the party but does that translate to support for jacob zuma. Certainly it hasnt in recent days i mean weve even seen branches with in the a. N. C. Come out saying that we dont support jacob zuma and its time to go at the same time the a. N. C. Has been criticized and even its Alliance Partners not long ago. Members of the a. N. C. As well as the Alliance Partners were fully behind jacob zuma theyve changed their tune quite radically three sixty in the last couple of years especially the last few months around jacob zuma but the a. N. C. Really is in a position now where it would want to look to ward the election coming up twenty nineteen it has a National Support of about sixty two percent but speaking to analysts looking at trends listening to sentiment out there if the a. N. C. Doesnt get its act together in terms of remembering what the people want and perhaps this thing thing itself from this image it has around. Patronage nepotism and protecting a president that has been accused of whats called state capture and acting in the interest of business deals his family and business. Associates the a. N. C. Could possibly be in trouble coming elections next year now the opposition is also saying apart from this motion of no confidence that its pushing for is that it wants parliament to be dissolved its saying this because it will ease at the agency will not make a difference despite having a new leader in terms of Holding President jacob zuma accountable for some of the scandals hes been attached to especially in the last few years and if parliament is dissolved they say that this would at least bring some sort of renewal around leadership in the country and they also pushing for a snap elections within three months now the a. N. C. Is not in a position to do well. If elections are quarterback never mind twenty one people are all thank you very much for me the mill in johannesburg with the latest on that special meeting of the National Executive committee the wise Decision Making body within the a. N. C. Reports from the s a b c state broadcaster saying that theyve given president jacob zuma forty eight hours to resign those so far we have seen zuma resist that pressure.

About in arc no just to defeat but to rebuild which could lead to how much money would you like to see listen to listen bring potluck if he is going to get was twenty billion dollars and all the buf so happy and very kind and they will be very good attitude for over the outside world to respond more positively to calls like that one made there by dr mustafa a l hed see iraq will have to demonstrate to the outside world particularly to the private sector that it is a good destination for investment cording to Transparency International iraq stands at one hundred sixty six out of one hundred and seventy six countries when it comes to its corruption index so still some work to be done there.
