Zuma will fight for his ANC membership: Yengeni

TimesLIVE reported that although Maholozi did not indicate whether he would appeal his expulsion, he said it was not the end. He insisted that Zuma would contest the matter of him being expelled. However, the manner of contestation will be determined after consulting with his legal team. Yengeni said he would meet him this upcoming weekend.

Zuma was expelled from the party this week by the National Disciplinary Committee. Zuma threw his weight behind the newly-formed MK Party in December when he declared that he would not vote for the ANC of President Cyril Ramaphosa. Yengeni said Zuma believes he is an ANC member.

"He has indicated many times he is an ANC member now. He will always be an ANC member, and he will die an ANC member. That's what he believes in."
