Former South African President Zuma Withdraws Support for ANC

Zuma Announces Intention to Vote for New Umkhonto We Sizwe Party in 2024 Elections

Jacob Zuma, former South African president, has withdrawn his support for the African National Congress (ANC) ahead of the 2024 general elections.
Zuma has announced his intention to vote for the newly-formed Umkhonto We Sizwe (MK) party, named after the ANC's former military wing.
Zuma has criticized current President Cyril Ramaphosa's leadership and accused the ANC of being a 'proxy for white monopoly capital'.
The ANC, which has been in power since 1994, is facing serious challenges and may need to form a coalition government to remain in power.
Zuma himself has faced numerous corruption charges since leaving office in 2018.
