Mantashe says Zuma expulsion not neccessary
In another article, Briefly News reported that ANC National Chairperson Gwede Mantashe states there's no need to expel or discipline ex-President Jacob Zuma, as he has distanced himself from the African National Congress (ANC).
Zuma's decision to join and campaign for the new MK Party in the upcoming elections has sparked varied opinions within the ANC. While some view it as a blessing, Mantashe compares Zuma's MK Party to a rebel movement.
