9:02 pm
decision is therefore in the best interests of the country. the speaker is required to guard the procedures of this house and to ensure that the outcome of this very important vote is credible. the secret ballot was seen as the best option for members of parliament to vote without being intimidated and the call for a vote of no—confidence in presidentjacob the call for a vote of no—confidence in president jacob zuma the call for a vote of no—confidence in presidentjacob zuma was initiated by opposition parties after the president sent nine members of his cabinet in a —— sacked nine members of his cabinet ina sacked nine members of his cabinet in a controversial reshuffle which saw the country being economic or downgraded. it's a choice between whether you spend with jacob zuma downgraded. it's a choice between whether you spend withjacob zuma or whether you spend withjacob zuma or whether you spend against —— stand against jacob zuma. invisible choice, you stand for the interests of south africa you don't. i think many parties have communicated that they feel a strong confidence saying they feel a strong confidence saying
9:03 pm
they want to devote. we are convinced that the anc members will do the right thing. it is an opportunity for them to demonstrate that they, too, are tired of corruption in this country. hundreds of people who marched out of parliament have welcomed the move. every person camps. that is what we are practising. —— every person camps. it is notjust about one person commits about the greater good. what you see today in roger like the dc tomorrow, people want change and ideally, they want change through constitutional means, through constitutional means, through the courts of law, not through the courts of law, not through a violent response. and the decision today was in line with what the expectation of what the countries. i'm not surprised that she decided in favour of a secret ballot. because that is a democracy
9:04 pm
at its best. the question, though, is well anc mps help president zuma keep hisjob at is well anc mps help president zuma keep his job at show him the door? this isn't jacob zuma's first vote of no—confidence, it's good to be his eight, in fact. but it is going to bea his eight, in fact. but it is going to be a secret one. but let's find out why it is crucially important. let'sjoin out why it is crucially important. let's join the online editor of power fm in johannesburg. let's join the online editor of power fm injohannesburg. this different this time round, isn't it? a secret ballot, what does that mean? essentially, it means that anc parliamentarians who have to vote according to a whip system, they have to vote according to the party line, are technically able to vote whichever way they choose without any repercussions. this opens the gate for possibly defying the president, who is popular inside and outside the party. explained to us, remind us why we have got to the stage? why is he so unpopular now?
9:05 pm
president zuma is the third president of the democratic south africa, effectively, and he has had many personal scandal. the biggest of which was using taxpayer money, offered 250 million rands of money, and his personal residence, an upgrade to his personal residence. it became a focus point to a lot of south africans. at the same time, there was a controversy about his closeness to a particular business family who came from india, and have been very internet and directing state contracts to their own businesses and have made enormous money. this is caused enormous consternation and operate within the south african public and political sphere. if the vote goes against him, what is the next step? what happens? what happens if the vote
9:06 pm
goes against him, which a lot of people still think is unlikely, is that effectively, the entire cabinet, although ministers, would have to resign and a lot of our parliamentarians. they would have to hold a special elections. and the speaker, who made the decision to have a secret ballot, would effectively be president, acting president, for a couple of weeks while the process took place. given that jacob zuma was always going to stand down by 2019, what you read into this vote of confidence in this secret ballot? i think that in many ways, south africans are impatient. they cannot wait for 2019. it's a long time away and they crucially —— very crucially, economies in a frightening place. we have had several downgrades from international rating agencies, which is affecting all kind of things in oui’ is affecting all kind of things in our economy, most of all, the
9:07 pm
unemployment rate. if things keep going as they are boring, we're likely to lose 1 million going as they are boring, we're likely to lose1 million morejobs in the next year or so, which could be devastating for economy. we have had extremely high unemployment. so there is a sense of urgency. particularly because of the collections with this family i spoke about, people are concerned about further looting of state resources and weakening of state institutions that are meant to protect public funds and accountability. digital to you, thank you very much, as always. we will of course continue to monitor what takes place in that secret ballot. —— nice to talk to you. we are going to turn to the united states now, because the city of chicago has filed a lawsuit to prevent the trump ministry from withholding funding from so—called century cities. —— the trump administration from withholding funding from so—called sanctuary cities. this announcement was made
9:08 pm

9:09 pm
rather than encouraging them to interact with city services committee have a population that will not call the police when there isa crime, will not call the police when there is a crime, a population that want to cut health services or education because of their immigration status, it creates essentially a shadow publishing in the city that is more prone to crime or health issues. that is their viewpoint. the ministry can's viewpoint is that immigration is the law of the land as faras immigration is the law of the land as far as residency goes, if someone in commitsa as far as residency goes, if someone in commits a crime or interact with police and don't have residential status, they should be handed over to the federal government. guest —— jeff sessions announcement is that they're going withhold funds from any city that does not give access to publicjails any city that does not give access to public jails when any city that does not give access to publicjails when they are holding an undocumented worker, does not share information with federal 30s and does not inform the federal
9:10 pm
government within 48 hours when they are releasing an undocumented worker are releasing an undocumented worker are great back into the population. the bill is in perspective, this is a $3.2 million federal grant that goes to chicago. —— to put this in perspective. chicago's total budget perspective. chicago's total budget per year perspective. chicago's total budget peryear is $9.8 perspective. chicago's total budget per year is $9.8 billions, so it is more of a principal fight than talking about significant money for chicago. the news of this lawsuit comes in the middle fodder is supposed to be a 17 day working holiday for president trump. but as we are seeing from his productivity, he says... welcomerfor we are seeing from his productivity, he says... welcomer for more analysis on this, we return to anthony. i asked analysis on this, we return to anthony. iasked him analysis on this, we return to anthony. i asked him why mr drogba peers so content on making the point —— mrtrump appears peers so content on making the point —— mr trump appears so intent on making appointees working vacation.
