MBABANE: UMkhonto weSizwe (MK) party founder Jabulani Khumalo has placed Jacob Zuma on precautionary suspension and wants the Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) to remove the former President from its parliamentary list, the Mail&Guardian reported on Tuesday afternoon.

It has been reported that,the move by Khumalo comes despite his expulsion from the party by Jacob Zuma late last month for “ill-discipline” and days before the Constitutional Court hear an appeal by the IEC against an electoral court ruling allowing Zuma to be on the ballot.

“The latest drama involving the newest breakaway party from the African National Congress(ANC) kicked off on Sunday, when Khumalo, referring to himself as Party President,wrote to Zuma and told him that he was being placed on suspension”, the Mail&Guardian reported.
