Adv Hoffman is right on the money - as he often is. Everything in life comes at a price, and an open vote in Parliament is a necessary cost of democracy. A fundamental tenant of democracy is that "democracy" and "transparency" ought to be synonymous. Of course, for as long as our political leadership use their political power to advance selfish, greedy agendas as the cost of the plight of South Africans, this tenant will be undermined. But it is that same ballot box gives those South Africans who so desire the power to oust Zuma and Co. In reality our only opportunity (short of violent revolt) to rid SA of Zuma and Co, given the wisdom of the division of power between, and the autonomy of, the executive, legislature and judiciary, IS THE BALLOT BOX - even though it only opens again in 2019. My perspective? Keep growing the "Zuma must go" sentiment, especially in the remote, rural areas of SA. And then, let's go out in record numbers in 2019 and vote!
