Zuma wins no-confidence vote

South Africa's President Jacob Zuma has survived an eighth vote of no confidence.

He won despite the ballot being held in secret.

The opposition parties had hoped the secret vote would mean MPs from the governing African National Congress (ANC) might side with them against the president.

But the motion, called amid repeated allegations of corruption, was defeated by 198 votes to 177.
