This was the late Monday night outcome of the ANC national working committee (NWC) extended to anyone from the ANC top decision-making structure between conferences, the national executive committee (NEC). It could have been an ANC NEC meeting given that 80 committee’s members gathered at a Cape Town hotel on the eve of the DA motion to remove the president in Parliament. The meeting was the latest of a series since Friday as the governing party moves to mitigate the fall-out of the judgement amid calls for Zuma to step down from within and outside ANC in this local government election year.

For Republicans, Wisconsin is the bastion of party stoicism, meaning this should be an obvious Ted Cruz state.
