Jacob Zuma is not going down without a fight.
The ANC has upheld its expulsion of the former party president, but Msholozi is not happy with the decision.
Zuma was expelled in July for bringing the organisation into disrepute but appealed the decision.
Zuma rejects expulsion
Following the news that the party officially expelled him, the Jacob Zuma Foundation released a statement saying it rejects the notion.
Jacob Zuma Foundation Spokesperson Mzwanele Manyi confirmed that the former state president would consult with his legal team on the way forward.
“His Excellency President Zuma strongly rejects the notion that the ANC, under the leadership of President Cyril Ramaphosa, has the authority to expel him from the movement to which he has dedicated his life.
“In the coming days, H.E. President Zuma will consult with his legal team, his ANC representative, Comrade Tony Yengeni, his family and his political comrades to deliberate on the way forward,” Manyi said.
South Africans tired of Zuma’s antics
While some social media users supported the MK Party leader, many others thought he should accept defeat.
Mandy Anc said:
“He knows that there is no protection for him without the ANC. MK can’t protect him like the ANC.”
Katlego Mohlanga added:
“I wish I was Zuma's lawyer. I would chow money. He has money, this guy, to fight losing legal battles🤣🤣🤣.”
Nohombile Patricks stated:
“We really don't have time for old people playing games. Children are dying, our future, people we should be worried about.”
Jacob Thapedi said:
“But he can't be both sides, MK and ANC. He is too old (he is SASSA) to be both sides.”
Godfrey Mbhiza added:
“This one is playing like a child, nje.”
Mxolisi Mxo stated:
“He is wasting his time and money.”
Lerato Jacqueline Molise said:
“Let it go Msholozi maan. Wena, you think life is all about you only. You’re old ntate hle! Mdende is waiting for you. Please, you can apply for it now, phela le December next month, you might need it.”
Mantashe blames MKP for ANC’s poor showing
Briefly News reported last month how Gwede Mantashe blamed the MK Party for the ANC’s poor performance in the elections.
Mantashe threw shade at Zuma and his party, saying they targeted a certain type of voter and weren’t for everyone.
Social media users accused Mantashe and the ANC of doing the same thing that the MK Party recently did.
