Johannesburg: South Africa's ruling ANC kicked off disciplinary hearings against former president Jacob Zuma Wednesday that could result in his expulsion for leading a rival group into elections in May.
The African National Congress suspended the scandal-tainted ex-leader in January, a month after he endorsed the newly formed uMkhonto weSizwe (MK).
Zuma is accused of contravening the ANC constitution by campaigning for a rival party while still a member.
MK cut into the ANC's share of votes in the May 29 elections, taking third place with 14.5 percent.
The ruling party managed 40 percent -- its weakest score since it came to power three decades ago.
