South Africa’s ruling party, the African National Congress (ANC), has expelled Ex-South Africa’s President, Jacob Zuma from the party he once led after campaigning for a rival party in the 29 May general election.
Reports say the ANC’s disciplinary committee found him guilty of “prejudicing the integrity” of the party by joining uMkhonto we Sizwe, popularly known as MK.
Though he was given three weeks to appeal against its ruling, MK while reacting to the development said Mr Zuma had not been notified of the decision taken by a “kangaroo court”.
82-year-old Zuma was an ANC veteran but fell out with the party after he was forced to quit as president in 2018 over corruption scandals.
It would be recalled that Zuma who had consistently denied any wrong doing was suspended by the ANC in January after creating MK, which now sits in opposition to the ANC-led government in parliament.
