- South Africa’s electoral officials said Thursday that they had excluded former president Jacob Zuma from May elections, further stoking tensions in the run-up to the polls.
He has been campaigning for the opposition uMkhonto we Sizwe party in an attempt to relaunch his career, calling members of his former party, the ANC, “traitors”. According to the governing party, the uMkhonto we Sizwe name and logo are similar to those of the now disbanded apartheid-era military wing of the ANC, which could deceive or confuse voters.Zuma says he will not vote for ANC in South Africa's election
The electoral commission said that under the constitution “any person who was convicted of an offence and sentenced to more than 12 months imprisonment without the option of a fine” cannot stand in an election.
