The DA welcomes the decision by the Speaker of the National Assembly, Baleka Mbete, to schedule a debate on our Motion of No Confidence in President Jacob Zuma on 18 April.

We are pleased that the Speaker has acceded to the request to reconvene the House urgently to debate this motion. This is something which the DA and many other parties and organisations have been calling for.

The time has now come for our Parliament to stand up for our hard-won democracy and Constitution and put South Africa first again.

We urge MPs from all parties to support the motion. Each and every one of us have sworn an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution. We are now called on to do so because Jacob Zuma is recklessly undermining what so many struggled for.

We must stand together and send a loud and clear message on 18 April that South Africa will not allow itself to be abused by a man determined to put himself, and his friends, first.

It is time to put South Africa first again. Our people deserve nothing less.
