The decision follows disciplinary proceedings against Zuma, initiated earlier this month.
The document, dated July 29, states, “The charged member is expelled from the ANC.” It also mentions that Zuma has the right to appeal to the National Disciplinary Committee within 21 days.
The ANC’s National disciplinary committee has found that Zuma prejudiced the integrity of the party by acting in collaboration with another party in a “manner contrary to the aims, policies and objectives of the ANC”.
The MK party has slammed the rulling saying Zuma will engage his legal team to determine the course of action.
Zuma, who remains popular despite past scandals, was suspended by the ANC in January after endorsing the newly formed uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) party. MK secured 14.5% of the votes in the May 29 elections, placing third. Zuma now heads MK, which has 58 seats in the 400-seat National Assembly.
