The African National Congress (ANC) in KwaZulu-Natal has come out swinging against its former leader, Jacob Zuma, saying his announcement on Saturday that he would vote for another party amounts to a "divorce" from the party he has been a member of since he was just 17 years old.
The party held a press briefing at Durban's Garden Court Marine Parade on Monday, 18 December, in the wake of former president Jacob Zuma's bombshell announcement this weekend
The statement from the ANC leadership characterised Zuma's act as a "literary divorce," an effective abandonment of the party he once led.
