Former South African President Jacob Zuma is set to undergo a disciplinary hearing with the African National Congress (ANC) party, following his involvement in campaigning against the organization he once led in the recent national elections. Zuma, aged 82, faces the possibility of expulsion from the ANC, a party he has been associated with since the late 1950s during the struggle against apartheid.
Zuma's presidency came to an end in 2018 amidst corruption allegations, leading to a rift with President Cyril Ramaphosa, who succeeded him as the party and country leader. Zuma officially distanced himself from the ANC in December, announcing his support for the newly-formed MK Party in the May elections. Despite maintaining his ANC membership, he was suspended by the party in January for undermining its integrity.
