Former South African president Jacob Zuma has been expelled from his long-time party, the African National Congress, the ANC’s secretary general said on Monday.

Zuma was suspended from the ANC in January after announcing he would campaign for the new uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK) party in the general election, which was held in May.

The ANC lost its parliamentary majority for the first time in 30 years in the vote, forcing it to share power with smaller rivals in a unity government.
