Jacob Zuma Expelled from ANC After Supporting Rival Party

Former South African president faces backlash for backing uMkhonto we Sizwe, contributing to ANC's historic electoral defeat.

Zuma, a former ANC leader, was expelled for campaigning for uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK) in the May elections.
The ANC lost its parliamentary majority for the first time since 1994, partly due to MK's unexpected success.
Zuma's expulsion followed a virtual hearing he refused to attend, demanding an in-person session instead.
The ANC has given Zuma 21 days to appeal the decision, which he plans to contest with his legal team.
Zuma, who has faced multiple corruption scandals, continues to deny any wrongdoing.
