The uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party said that ANC stalwart, Tony Yengeni, who was representing Jacob Zuma in the hearing, attended the meeting alone.
JOHANNESBURG - The uMkhonto weSizwe Party said that Jacob Zuma did not attend his virtual disciplinary hearing with the African National Congress .
It said that Yengeni told the ANC's disciplinary committee that Zuma wanted a physical hearing and for the meeting to be postponed. The former ANC president was suspended by the party after forming and campaigning for the MK Party while still being a member. A statement by the MK Party said Zuma, along with wanting his disciplinary hearing to be held physically, also wants it to be open to the public."Neither the pre-hearing conference nor the actual disciplinary hearing will be open to the public or the media. A verdict will be announced once the committee has received and reviewed all arguments. We cannot specify the timeline for this process, as it depends on the scope of the deliberations and the issues under consideration.
