South African President Zuma survives no-confidence vote

The mounting pressure on President Zuma comes against a background of economic crisis

South African President Jacob Zuma easily survived a no-confidence vote in parliament Tuesday after a heated attack on his "reckless" handling of the economy.

Zuma's ANC party's overwhelming majority saw the no-confidence motion defeated by 225 votes to 99, with 22 abstentions.
