Questions have been asked about the legitimacy of Jacob Zuma’s leadership position in the MK party.

This after South Africa’s former president sent a letter to the MK party’s secretary-general Arthur Zwane, informing him of his expulsion.

The party has also been criticised for not holding an elective conference or adopting a constitution before the national and provincial elections.

Political analysts say this means that the MK party lacks a leadership structure and a constitution needed to make democratic decisions.

The MK party also previously booted its founder Jabulani Khumalo, along with four other senior members, without giving a proper explanation for their expulsion.
