her crime — to speak out in public against south africa's president jacob zuma. yeah... 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's no guarantee that disillusioned mps like dr kho
