ANC Expels Former President Jacob Zuma for Election Betrayal

Former South African President Jacob Zuma has been expelled from the African National Congress (ANC) after he supported a rival party in the May parliamentary election. The ANC announced the expulsion on Monday, marking a significant fall from grace for Zuma, who had been suspended from the party since January. Zuma's decision to back the new uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK) party, against the ANC, led to his expulsion. This move comes after Zuma's long history with the ANC, a party he served for 60 years, including nearly a decade as South Africa's president. The expulsion underscores deep divisions within the ANC and highlights the political fallout for Zuma, who once led the nation.
