 South Africa's ANC expels former president Zuma from the party


South Africa’s former President Jacob Zuma has been expelled from the African National Congress (ANC), the party he once led.


The expulsion comes after the ANC announced it had suspended Zuma’s membership on January 29 this year, following Zuma’s declaration of support for a newly formed rival political party, uMkhonto WeSizwe Party (MK party), in December 2023.


MK responded to media reports that Zuma had been expelled in a statement earlier on Monday, criticizing the ANC's process and condemning "grave injustices" against Zuma.

"President Zuma will engage his legal team to urgently determine the course of action," it said.


Mbalula said Zuma has 21 days to appeal the decision.
