CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — Former South African President Jacob Zuma’s disciplinary hearing with the African National Congress has been postponed for more arguments, as he faces expulsion for campaigning against the organization he once led as head of a new political party. The hearing could see Zuma, 82, become the first former leader to be thrown out of the ANC. He joined the ANC in the late 1950s when it was a liberation movement fighting against apartheid. Zuma was forced to step down as South African president in 2018 amid allegations of corruption. He has been embroiled in a political feud since then with current President and ANC leader Cyril Ramaphosa.
