today6 May, 2024

Background

Former South African President Jacob Zuma will still attend a disciplinary hearing with the African National Congress on Tuesday despite the ruling party saying it has been cancelled. The BBC reports that Zuma was summoned by the ANC’s National Disciplinary Committee over his decision to join the newly-formed uMkhonto weSizwe party last December, of which he is now the leader, despite still being an ANC member. The ANC on Sunday announced it was postponing the meeting because of security concerns for the postponement.
