South Africa's Speaker of Parliament, Baleka Mbete, has set August 3 as the date for the debate on the motion of no-confidence in President Jacob Zuma.

However, Ms Mbete said she is mulling whether to order a secret ballot for the motion after the Constitutional Court ruled last week that she it was at her discretion.
