Former South African President Jacob Zuma is demanding to be reinstated into the ANC after being expelled for joining the MK party. He claims the expulsion was unfair and has threatened legal action if his membership is not reinstated by January 31.
Jacob Zuma ’s fight to be reinstated into the African National Congress ( ANC ) continues despite being found guilty of 'prejudicing the integrity' of the party by joining the MK party. Zuma believes his expulsion was unfair and targeted by former comrades. He is demanding reinstatement by January 31, threatening legal action if denied. Zuma’s attorney cites procedural and substantive concerns regarding the ANC ’s disciplinary processes.
ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula dismissed Zuma’s demand, calling it 'mischief' and stating Zuma’s expulsion was constitutional. Mbalula accused Zuma of seeking division within the party and serving only himself. Spokesperson for the Jacob Zuma Foundation, Mzwanele Manyi, responded that Mbalula is uninformed and that Zuma’s case is not closed. Manyi argues that Zuma was unfairly targeted compared to Solly Mapaila, who made similar statements about contesting elections independently. He also criticizes the ANC for ignoring alleged corruption within its leadership
