Zuma kicks out MK Party members after candidate list protest
The meeting was interrupted by disgruntled supporters who began chanting and waving placards.
Jacob Zuma, leader of the MK Party, has dismissed a faction of dissatisfied members who staged a protest against the party’s candidates. The incident took place during a prayer meeting in Durban, where Zuma and MK Party members were participating in an interfaith gathering. Approximately 200 MK Party supporters assembled for the prayer organized by religious leaders to seek blessings for a peaceful election process.
However, the event was disrupted by the dissidents, who began to chant and display protest signs. Zuma attempted to diffuse the situation, reminding them that engaging in illegal activities by submitting the candidate lists would not solve their issues. He subsequently ordered the protesters to leave the designated area. The prayer meeting proceeded while the rest of the dissatisfied group refused to disperse.
