Former South African president Jacob Zuma says he will not vote for the African National Congress (ANC) and is creating a new political party. Mr Zuma was the country's president between 2009 and 2018. The paramilitary MK, of which Mr Zuma was a member, fought the apartheid-era government of South Africa. Mr Zuma's statement also referred to the "enemies of our people operating among us" and said "there can never be reconciliation without socio-economic justice and equality". During the apartheid era, Mr Zuma was an anti-apartheid activist and spent a decade in jail as a political prisoner.
