Zuma ally quits South Africa’s governing ANC

Former South African President Jacob Zuma’s long-time ally, Ace Magashule, has resigned from the ruling African National Congress (ANC) party.

Magashule’s resignation comes amid growing tensions within the party and allegations of corruption against him.

The ANC, which has been in power since the end of apartheid in 1994, has been plagued by infighting and corruption scandals in recent years.

Magashule’s departure is seen as a significant blow to Zuma, who is facing multiple corruption charges and is currently on trial.

Many within the ANC hope that Magashule’s resignation will help the party move forward and focus on addressing the country’s pressing issues, such as high unemployment and widespread poverty.
