South Africa's parliament will debate a motion of no confidence against President Jacob Zuma on 10 November, opposition leader Mmusi Maimane has said, Reuters news agency reports.

The move to oust Mr Zuma follows a report by an anti-corruption watchdog which found "significant wrongdoing, improper influence, conflicts of interest and outright corruption, "all pointing directly to President Zuma and his cronies", Mr Maimane's Democratic Alliance (DA) said on its website.

The DA failed earlier this year to vote Mr Zuma out of office after MPs of the governing African National Congress (ANC) rallied behind him.

Mr Zuma has denied all allegations of corruption and has said he intends to continue to "shepherd" the nation.
