ANC Veterans welcome Zuma's expulsion

JOHANNESBURG - The ANC Veterans League has welcomed the expulsion of former President Jacob Zuma from the party. 

This followed a disciplinary hearing for his active campaigning and setting up of the MK Party.

The ANC says Zuma has 21 days to appeal the decision. 

Veterans League President Snuki Zikalala says Zuma has to answer for state capture and what he did to the ANC.

Secretary-General of the ANC, Fikile Mbalula, has cited the reasons for the decision in a signed letter.

The ANC says Zuma prejudiced the integrity of the movement by collaborating with the MK Party.

Mbalula says they charged their member and not the MK Party.

He contends that Zuma de-campaigned the ANC.

While describing the disciplinary process as a kangaroo court, the MK Party confirmed that Zuma did indeed receive the National Disciplinary Committee letter expelling him.

MK Party spokesperson Nhlamulo Ndhlela has slammed the ANC for the decision.
