In BREAKING news, the African National Congress has set down the date for a disciplinary hearing against former President Jacob Zuma.
The ANC has served its former president and now leader of the uMkhonto weSizwe party, Jacob Zuma, with a notice to appear before a disciplinary hearing for contravening party rules. Zuma is technically still a member of the ANC, although he was suspended from the party in January.The party’s Disciplinary Committee has set down the matter for next Tuesday.The ANC says Zuma has contravened a number of its rules, including collaborating with another party.
The latest investigation into the MK Party came after City Press, reported that a former party official told police there was an elaborate scheme to forge some of the 15,000 signatures required for parties by the Electoral Commission of SA.The Independent Electoral Commission called for a “speedy” probe.The spokesperson described the author of the accusations as a party volunteer who became disgruntled after the party rejected him from its parliamentary list.
Last month, the 82-year-old thwarted attempts to stop him or his new party from contesting the general election at the end of May., this is because it is named after the now-disbanded armed wing of the ANC, which fought against white-minority rule that ended with the election of anti-apartheid hero Nelson Mandela in 1994.The ANC argued that the use of the name, which translates as Spear of the Nation, breached trademark law and would lead to voter confusion in the upcoming May polls.
