Cape Town – As political reaction continues to stream in after the Constitutional Court ruling that the Speaker has the power to decide on a secret ballot in a vote of no confidence against President Jacob Zuma, social media has come alive as well.
A number of users got in on the action, speculating how some people, including Speaker Baleka Mbete, would have reacted to Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng's ruling.
Here are some of the best tweets...
