South Africa's President Jacob Zuma this evening easily survived another no-confidence vote in parliament.

In a televised heated session, 214 legislators voted against the motion, 126 stood in favour of the motion, 58 did not vote and one abstained.

The opposition Democratic Alliance (DA) had moved a motion of no confidence on Zuma who is facing corruption allegations.

The victory means Zuma stays on as president.
