Umkhonto Wisizwe (MK P) is ready to turn out in large numbers to support its leader Jacob Zuma when he appears at a disciplinary hearing next Tuesday. This was stated by party spokesperson Nhlamulo Nderela following notification of a decision document by the ANC's National Disciplinary Commission (NDC) which revealed that Mr Zuma will appear at a disciplinary hearing. It is.
Mr Zuma is said to have been charged with two offences. He is accused of violating the ANC constitution when he publicly supported the newly formed Umkhonto Wesizwe (MK Party) and was on the MK Party's candidate list.
Mr Ndlela confirmed that Mr Zuma will be charged with these charges.
“We don't understand what all this fuss is about. That's why we've won and continue to win all these lawsuits. And it's clear that it's an act of desperation on their part. And if I were them, I would have listened to the words of their leader, former President Mbeki, who for the first time gave them some words of wisdom and said, “What's the rush? He told me why he was in despair.

Meanwhile, the ANC says the decision to prosecute former president Jacob Zuma has nothing to do with its election campaign ahead of the upcoming May 2024 vote. A notice set by the ANC's National Disciplinary Committee revealed that Mr Zuma is scheduled to be brought before a hearing at Luthuli House on Tuesday on two charges of violating the ANC constitution.
ANC national spokesperson Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsili said politics had no role in the recent developments surrounding the former ANC president.
“The fact that the National Disciplinary Commission has decided to proceed with this matter has nothing to do with our election campaign. Our election campaign is in full swing. It's not influenced by the fact that it's happening, so there's no politics involved in this,” she says.
ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa said the ANC Disciplinary Commission would function independently from all other ANC bodies.
Prime Minister Ramaphosa was reacting to the latest developments on the sidelines of the ANC's election campaign in the Western Cape ahead of the May 2024 polls.
“He will go through a disciplinary process where he will argue his case, but it will be up to the disciplinary committee to make a decision. It is up to any of us to get ahead of that and announce the findings. No. The Disciplinary Committee therefore operates independently of all other functions or executive structures of the ANC.”
