Jacob Zuma to Appeal Expulsion from ANC
Jacob Zuma, leader of the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party, is set to appeal his expulsion from the African National Congress (ANC) on Friday, reports EWN. The ANC's national disciplinary committee will meet virtually to review Zuma's appeal. Zuma was expelled from the ANC in July for allegedly bringing the party into disrepute by establishing and campaigning for a rival political organization. During a recent press conference, Zuma made two notable slips, accidentally referencing the ANC instead of the MK Party. "Politicians who are able to put things and see what is right and wrong, they have been coming to the ANC. Sorry, eish, this thing is killing me," he said. The former ANC president said he would die a member of the revolutionary movement. The MK Party's constitution, which was recently drafted, allows members to belong to multiple political parties if done for strategic purposes. ANC member Tony Yengeni will represent Zuma at the disciplinary hearing.
