Ramaphosa motion of no confidence: ATM's court bid for secret ballot to be heard hours before motion

The story: The ATM's urgent application to have the voting for its motion of no confidence in President Cyril Ramaphosa by secret ballot will be heard this morning, hours before the motion is scheduled.

Unless: The motion will proceed unless it is withdrawn by ATM leader Vuyolwethu Zungula who sponsored the motion.

The background: After the party lodged the motion in February this year, it also asked National Assembly Speaker Thandi Modise that it be voted on by secret ballot. Modise declined, saying it did not provide evidence of "a highly charged atmosphere, intimidation of any member or any demonstrable evidence of threats against the lives of members and their families, which may warrant a secret ballot".
