Either way the ANC is going to loose big-time. But being the ANC, they are looking for soft landing which is to survive the motion and hope for the best. In the worst scenario, when chips are down,there is a possibility of repeating the MBEKI situation by removing the president themselves, but that will come from mutual agreement between parties. The president will likely force the compromise which will be a hard bargain to swallow for those looking for his departure unless they vote him out of the office.And ofcourse we still have an impeachment hanging somewhere in the courts by oppositions.
