South Africa's President Jacob Zuma has survived a no-confidence motion against him in parliament.
The embattled leader garnered 198 votes to the opposition's 177 votes as African National Congress lawmakers rallied to his support.
There were nine abstentions in the secret ballot.
Zuma, 75, has held power since 2009 but his time in office has been dogged by allegations of corruption.
The politician has now survived nine no-confidence votes thanks to loyal voting by ANC lawmakers.
The rand fell by 1% after the announcement of the vote outcome.
