ANC expels former South African president Jacob Zuma for breaching constitution
The African National Congress (ANC) expelled former South African president Jacob Zuma for breaching its constitution by collaborating with the newly formed uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK) Party. Zuma led the MK Party into the general election while claiming ANC membership, resulting in the ANC losing its parliamentary majority. The MK Party became the third largest in parliament, while Zuma was banned from becoming an MP due to a prior contempt of court conviction. The ANC's support fell to 40.18%, necessitating a coalition government. Zuma has three weeks to appeal the expulsion, with the MK Party criticizing the disciplinary process.

Jacob Zuma summons spirits of Zulu warriors to fight his rivals
Jacob Zuma, former president of South Africa, is at the center of a political upheaval, leading a new party, uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK), which has disrupted the long-standing rule of the African National Congress (ANC). Zuma's supporters, particularly in his home region of KwaZulu-Natal, express strong loyalty and believe his leadership will address their grievances. Critics, however, fear that his actions could lead to instability, drawing parallels to Donald Trump's influence in the U.S. The article highlights the mixed legacy of Zuma, including his controversial presidency and the ongoing support he receives from many Zulus.

Ramaphosa says South Africa has a 'robust' democracy
South Africa's recent elections have resulted in significant political shifts, with the African National Congress (ANC) losing its absolute majority for the first time in 30 years. President Cyril Ramaphosa acknowledged the robust nature of the country's democracy, despite the ANC's decline. The Democratic Alliance (DA) and the newly formed uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK) party, led by former President Jacob Zuma, gained ground. The ANC now seeks coalition partners to form a government, while the DA aims to prevent a coalition involving the ANC and other parties. The elections were deemed fair and credible by the Independent Electoral Commission, despite some complaints of irregularities.

Political Shift As South African Opposition Party Economic Freedom Fighters Sees Deputy President Exit
Floyd Shivambu, Deputy President of South Africa's Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), has resigned to join the uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK) party, marking a significant leadership change within the EFF. This move may lead to further resignations from the EFF, as Shivambu's loyalists, including Mzwanele Manyi, follow suit. The MK party, formed by former President Jacob Zuma, has gained substantial support, capturing 14.58% of the national vote. The political landscape in South Africa is shifting, with the ruling African National Congress (ANC) forming a Government of National Unity with other parties, including the Democratic Alliance. Shivambu's departure could alter the dynamics among opposition parties, impacting governance and stability in the country.
