The songs referred to South Africa’s first black president nelson Mandela, who is revered by the entire nation.

South Africa’s governing ANC has welcomed the parliamentary vote on President Jacob Zuma’s future.

However, South Africa’s police minister Fikile Mbalula has denounced members of the governing ANC who voted for the president removal as suicide bombers.
