ANC MPs - THE GOOD LIFE

There were those hoping that ANC MPs would under the veil of a secret ballot vote to oust Jacob Zuma.  More so, because a number of MPs had broken ranks, and were no longer willing to subordinate principle over party loyalty.

As it turned out 30 MPs left the ANC hive by voting for the motion of no confidence.
Some now regard the mini revolt as tangible evidence of deepening fractures within the ANC.  Possibly,  but all things considered, the ANC's hive-like mentality will crush further defections, and more so because individual self-interest prevails over principle.

Think of it this way:   The vast majority of ANC MPs are beholden to the party for their fine lifestyles -  unquestioning and submissive loyalty to the party translates into an extraordinary investment towards an MP's quality of life - very much like drones in a honey bee colony.
