President Jacob Zuma has survived a no-confidence debate in parliament



South Africa's President Jacob Zuma has survived a no-confidence debate in parliament for the second time within a year. 

During a noisy session, opposition members repeatedly accused him of destroying the economy.

Opposition leader Mmusi Maimane described Mr Zuma as a sell-out whose main aim was self-enrichment and he condemned the president's handling of the economy as reckless.

But government minister Lindiwe Zulu defended the president. 

She said that the opposition was insulting Mr Zuma rather than looking at his track record.

The no-confidence motion was easily defeated by the governing ANC, which has a large majority in parliament.
