African National Congress (ANC) veterans leader and former SABC boss Snuki Zikalala has said that they welcome Jacob Zuma’s expulsion from the ANC following his association with the MK Party which campaigned against the ANC at the recent polls.
Former president Jacob Zuma announced the MK Party last year and actively campaigned for it attracting around 2 million voters to vote for the party in KwaZulu-Natal.
In a latter dated July 29 shared widely via social media platforms, Zuma was found guilty of contravening Rule 25.17.17.4 of the ANC Constitution, read with subsection (2), for the prejudicing the integrity or repute of the Organisation by acting in collaboration with a registered political party, uMkhonto Wesizwe Party, which is not in alliance with the ANC, in a manner contrary to the aims, policies and objectives of the ANC.
Zuma has a right to appeal to the National Disciplinary Committee of Appeal within 21 days.
Zikalala added that Zuma confused a lot of people and “ANC cannot afford to have ill-disciplined members and the people who do as they wish. As the veterans we are saying as soon as the matter is concluded, the better for us and the society”. This is long overdue”.
