  I reckon the reason Mbete hasn't yet told us whether the vote will be open or secret is the same reason Zuma only ever does anything at the last minute - to buy time.  She's going to wait until the last minute, tell us she has decided on an open ballot, and so there will be another delay of months while the opposition takes her decision back to the CC as irrational.
