Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>On Saturday, Zuma pushed his weight behind newly formed political party uMkhonto weSizwe, saying he would not vote for the ANC in 2024\u2019s national election but remains a committed member of the ruling party.<\/p>\n

Political analysts believe former president Jacob Zuma is invoking the African National Congress (ANC) to expel him from the party.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Zuma pushed his weight behind the newly formed political party uMkhonto weSizwe.<\/p>\n

The former statesman addressed the media saying he would not vote for the ANC in 2024\u2019s national election but remains a committed member of the ruling party.Political analyst Ntsikelelo Breakfast said Jacob Zuma\u2019s speech was contradictory in that he emphasised his allegiance to the ANC but added that he would cast his vote for uMkhonto weSizwe next year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat might appear to be a strategy that he wants the ANC to expel him so that he can have a justification as to why he left the party and not jumped ship by himself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Political analyst Sandile Swana said the move by Zuma spells trouble for the ANC in the hotly contested province of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN).<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Jacob Zuma rose to power, the ANC gained 1.5 million votes in KZN alone, although their votes declined in other provinces. But it was the first time since 1994 for the ANC to win KZN outright.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ANC plans to take legal action against the party for using the name, uMkhonto weSizwe as this was the name of the armed wing of the ruling party.<\/p>\n
