Jacob Zuma Abandons ANC, Vows Support for New Party in South African Election
TL;DR Summary
Former South African President Jacob Zuma has denounced the ruling African National Congress (ANC) party and announced his support for a newly-formed political formation called Umkhonto we Sizwe. Zuma, who was president of the ANC from 2007 to 2017, criticized President Cyril Ramaphosa and called on South Africans to vote against the ANC in the upcoming general election. Recent polls suggest that the ANC may receive less than 50% of the national vote and may need to form a coalition government to stay in power. Zuma has faced legal battles since leaving office, including a prison sentence for defying a court order and corruption charges.
