Former President Thabo Mbeki has expressed his support for the African National Congress (ANC) in summoning his successor, Jacob Zuma, to the national disciplinary committee. Zuma, who is now the leader of the Umkhonto Wesizwe party, is expected to appear before a disciplinary hearing next week.
Thabo Mbeki, who is currently campaigning in the greater Tshwane region ahead of the May 29 polls, has publicly campaigned for the first time since 2007, The Times Post can confirm.

As part of his efforts to secure ANC votes, he started his visit to the area yesterday and will be meeting with other ANC veterans and engaging with the public today.
Speaking about the ANC’s decision to summon Zuma, Mbeki stated, “I think it’s the correct procedure for the ANC. I think it’s important that it must stick to its own rules and its own constitution.
And since clearly he (Zuma) has committed what would be an act of ill-discipline, that he should indeed appear before a disciplinary committee. I think that is correct.”
Mbeki’s endorsement of the ANC’s actions highlights the importance of adhering to internal party rules and maintaining discipline within the organization.
By summoning Zuma to the disciplinary hearing, the ANC is demonstrating its commitment to upholding its own constitution and ensuring accountability among its members.
As the ANC prepares for the upcoming elections, Mbeki’s support and involvement in the campaign will likely have a positive impact on garnering support from ANC members and the wider public.
