South Africa’s ANC Expels Former President Jacob Zuma for Leading Rival Group

Currently ruling South Africa, the African National Congress (ANC) has decided to kick former President Jacob Zuma for running a rival party in the May elections. The ruling resulted from the disciplinary procedures Zuma earlier this month had been registered against.

The July 29th dated article claims that “The member who is being charged is expelled from the ANC”. Also indicated is Zuma’s appeal ability inside the following twenty-one days with the National Disciplinary Committee.

Looking further, the National Disciplinary Committee of the African National Congress (ANC) discovered that Zuma had “contrary to the aims, policies, and objectives of the ANC” activity with another party, therefore betraying the integrity of the party.

The MK party has attacked the decision, claiming Zuma will seek advice from his legal team to determine the best line of action. Allegations state that neither Jacob Zuma nor his approved agent had been notified of the outcome, per mandated by the African National Congress (ANC).

Zuma endorsed the newly established uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) party, hence the African National Congress (ANC) suspended him in January. Zuma has been involved in several scandals in the past notwithstanding his popularity. Having obtained 14.5% of the total votes, MK came in third place in the May 29 elections. Currently leading the MK party with 58 seats in the National Assembly, which boasts 400 MPs overall, is Zuma.

The African National Congress (ANC) obtained forty percent of the vote in the May elections, its lowest showing since it came to power thirty years ago and helped to end apartheid.
