According to IOL, Yengeni spoke during an interview on 30 July. Zuma was removed from the party two days prior after he publicly endorsed the MK Party, which he is the president of. Yengeni said the party did not treat Zuma like a family man.

Yrngeni said Zuma wanted the party to acknowledge his contributions to the ANC and treat him as a family man, not an intestine pipe. He also noted that although Zuma wanted the meeting in person, the ANC refused. He fails to understand why the ANC chose to discipline him through a computer and not in person.

South Africans don't care

Netizens on Facebook took what Yengeni said with a grain of salt.

Anthony Nikosa Koopman said:

"The logical thing for him to do if he wants to stay on as an ANC member is to resign from MK and dissolve the party."
