Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The rise of Zuma\u2019s MK Party has been a thorn in the side of the ANC – an organisation he\u2019s been a part of for well over six decades.<\/p>\n

Former African National Congress (ANC) president Thabo Mbeki has welcomed the organisation\u2019s decision to summon his successor Jacob Zuma to a disciplinary hearing over his endorsement of the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Mbeki was speaking to journalists on the sidelines of his election campaign in Soshanguve, north of Pretoria.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Zuma\u2019s MK Party confirmed to Eyewitness News that the former statesman would avail himself to the ANC\u2019s disciplinary committee at its Luthuli House headquarters in Johannesburg.<\/p>\n

The rise of Zuma\u2019s MK Party has been a thorn in the side of the ANC – an organisation he\u2019s been a part of for well over six decades.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the governing party\u2019s national executive committee suspended Zuma\u2019s membership for bringing the organisation into disrepute by establishing the MK Party.<\/p>\n

Former ANC president Thabo Mbeki says summoning Zuma to a disciplinary hearing is in line with adhering to the party’s constitution.<\/p>\n

“Clearly he has committed What would be an act of ill-discipline. That is why he must appear in front of the committee, I think that’s correct.”<\/p>\n

There is speculation that Zuma will host an MK Party rally outside Luthuli House on the day of his disciplinary hearing.<\/p>\n
