Zuma has nothing to hide & will present himself to ANC DC

JOHANNESBURG - The uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party said its leader, Jacob Zuma, had nothing to hide and would present himself to the African National Congress (ANC)'s disciplinary committee.

The ANC on Thursday announced it had served Zuma with a notice to appear at Luthuli House for his disciplinary hearing.

The twice-elected former ANC president was suspended from the party in January after he announced he would be campaigning and voting for the MK Party.

MK Party spokesperson, Nhlamulo Ndhlela, said that Zuma was not a coward and would attend his disciplinary hearing.

"Whatever the outcomes thereof, he is at the ANC's mercy in terms of how they want to deal with it but at this point in time, pending the outcome of the DC, there is nothing we can say. Let's see what their position is and take it from there."

Ndhlela said that the party had no issue with Zuma having dual membership between the ANC and MK.

"President Zuma stated he will die an ANC member and he will never vote for the ANC of President Cyril Ramaphosa because this ANC is not the ANC he knows and it's very un-ANC. For the first time since 1912, the formation of the ANC, a leader buys himself into the presidency."

The DC hearing has been set down for 10am at the ANC's Luthuli House in Johannesburg.
