'He's not in our party': Zuma says Khumalo has no business trying to represent MK in Parly

NKANDLA - Jacob Zuma said that expelled uMkhonto weSizwe (MK Party) leader, Jabulani Khumalo, had no business trying to represent the organisation in Parliament.

In a wide-ranging interview with Eyewitness News at his Nkandla home in KwaZulu-Natal, the former president said that Khumalo shouldn’t be allowed to serve on behalf of the MK.

Khumalo is top of the party’s list after it seemingly failed to make the necessary changes.

At the same time, he's taken the organisation to court, claiming that he and not Zuma is the rightful owner of the party.

"He's lying, he's a liar."

The very thought of Jabulani Khumalo seems to agitate former President Jacob Zuma and while he's refused to delve into Khumalo's fight for the ownership of the MK Party, Zuma has views on Khumalo remaining top of the organisation’s parliamentary list.

"He's not in our party, he was chased away. He has the letter, it was written, I gave it to him, he was sitting here when I gave it to him."

Zuma said that Khumalo must resign, arguing that the law shouldn't allow someone without a political home to continue serving in the National Assembly.

"There’s no parliament that's going to force you with a member that's not in your party. He can go there to show his stupidity."

Khumalo's matter against the MK Party was heard in the High Court this this week, where judgment was reserved.
