The recent African National Congress (ANC) 112 Anniversary Rally and January 8th statement celebration at Mbombela Stadium in Mpumalanga turned into a spectacle of disdain as supporters took extreme measures to express their disapproval of former president Jacob Zuma and his new political venture, Umkhonto Wesizwe.
In an unprecedented display, supporters were seen hoisting a coffin adorned with the words ‘RIP Zuma’ on one side and a similar sentiment for the MK Party on the other.
This striking visual marked a dramatic moment during the ANC’s celebratory event, emphasizing the deep-seated divisions within the party.
Jacob Zuma’s public endorsement of the new MK Party and his explicit refusal to vote for the ANC led to a contentious relationship with the party.
Despite his assertion that he remains an ANC member, the party contends that Zuma has effectively expelled himself, rendering any disciplinary hearings unnecessary.
The ‘RIP Zuma’ coffin gesture at the anniversary celebration highlights the intensity of the rift between Zuma and the ANC, capturing the attention of both party members and the general public.
As political tensions continue to escalate, this incident serves as a stark reminder of the complex dynamics within the ANC and the evolving landscape of South African politics.
