Opposition parties say they will use every legal avenue to remove President Jacob Zuma from office.
After losing a motion in Parliament to have Zuma removed, opposition parties including the Economic Freedom Fighters, Democratic Alliance, Congress of the People and the United Democratic Movement vowed they would not give up.
The debate followed last week's Constitutional Court ruling that Zuma failed to uphold the Constitution - which he took an oath to protect and uphold - in his handling of the Nkandla matter.
Troye Lund reports that opposition party leaders believe that the ANC in Parliament voted in a way that repeats the same brand of party loyalty they displayed when trying to protect Zuma in the Nkandla scandal.
The motion to have Zuma removed failed when 233 voted against it and 143 voted in favour.
