Zuma’s Shift in Political Allegiance
Zuma, who now leads the Umkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party, declared his support for this new political entity last December. At the launch, he emphatically stated, “I cannot and will not campaign for the ANC of Ramaphosa. My conscience will not allow me to lie to the people of South Africa and pretend that the ANC of Ramaphosa was the one of [late former ANC leaders Albert] Luthuli, [Oliver] Tambo, and [Nelson] Mandela.”

Despite his leadership role in the MK Party, Zuma maintains that he remains an ANC member, though his allegiance at the polls will be with the MK Party. The ANC views this as a contravention of its constitutional guidelines.
