Zuma was elected president of South Africa in May 2009 and re-elected for a second term in the spring of 2014. However, he was forced to resign in February 2018 under pressure from further corruption allegations. He was succeeded as head of state and ANC leader by current President Cyril Ramaposa.
Former South African President Jacob Zuma, now leader of the new Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK) parliamentary party, refused to appear on July 17 before the disciplinary committee of
his former party, the African National Congress (ANC). The committee accused him of violating the party's charter, the SABC reported.
The current leader of the MK parliamentary party is accused by his former party, the ANC, of violating the principles of the party's constitution.
According to the report, Zuma did not attend the disciplinary committee, which was to be held via video link, and demanded a face-to-face meeting to be held in public at the ANC headquarters in Johannesburg. The committee did not agree to these conditions and rescheduled the online meeting for July 23.
Local media reports say that Zuma is facing expulsion from the party he led until 2018.
In late January, Zuma's membership in the party was suspended by a decision of the ANC's national executive committee. However, he has not been expelled from the party and, according to the ANC leadership, must comply with all provisions of the party's charter.
Zuma was originally scheduled to appear before the disciplinary committee on May 7. However, the hearing was postponed indefinitely due to South Africa's general
elections, scheduled for May 29.
According to the election results, the MK, led by Zuma, won 58 seats out of 400 in South Africa's lower house of parliament, making it the third-largest faction.
After
refusing to join the government of national unity, the MK took the place of the country's leading opposition party.
