In a statement, the ANC welcomed the decision, adding that Zuma’s conduct exemplifies ill-discipline and the lack of respect for collective decisions.

Zuma was expelled from the former governing organisation in July for endorsing and leading the uMkhonto weSizwe party.

Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri explains, “As a former president of the ANC, Mr. Zuma was expected to embody the highest standards of disciplined leadership and advanced cadres who serve as guides and inspiration for all members of our movement and society. Instead, his actions have undermined the unity and cohesion of the movement at a time when it is critical to consolidate and push forward with organisational renewal and confront the pressing challenges facing South Africa. This severe breach of our organisational foundation necessitated his expulsion to safeguard the ANC’s integrity.”
