South Africa’s ruling African National Congress (ANC) said on Monday it had suspended the membership of former president Jacob Zuma after he announced he would vote for another party in this year’s general election.

Zuma, whose nine years in office from 2009 were marked by corruption scandals and sluggish economic growth, said last month he would campaign for the new uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK) party in the vote.

“The formation of the MK party is not an accident,” the ANC said in a statement. Forces were converging “to encourage rebel break-away groupings to erode the support base of the ANC,” it added.

Zuma’s suspension was necessary “to protect and preserve the ANC’s integrity and prevent further damage to its reputation,” the statement read.
