How they got axed

Members of the AAAM argued that they had an agreement with the MK Party to suspend their activities and work with it. They also reportedly had a deal to share the election gains equally. The MK Party was the third most voted-for party during the elections.

However, the MK Party sidelined them and removed them from Parliament barely two weeks after the National Speaker Thoko Didiza swore them in. The MK Party also refused to acknowledge them as Members of Parliament.

SA laughs

Netizens on Facebook roasted the party.

Tiyani Zulu said:

"There's no case here. The constitution of the MK Party gives Zuma all the power."

Steve Mashola said:

"Zuma made it clear that there will be no elective conferences and no hearings in his party. If he feels like he doesn't like you, he will expel you."
