JOHANNESBURG - Former President Jacob Zuma is once again taking his predecessor Cyril Ramaphosa and the ANC to court.
This time he wants the court to declare his expulsion from the party unlawful and unconstitutional.
Zuma's timed his legal action to coincide with the ANC's 70th anniversary of the Freedom Charter.
In his papers submitted before the High Court in Johannesburg, the former President argues that rule 25.17.42, which the party used to expel him are inconsistent with the Constitution.
Zuma's current party Umkhonto Wesizwe says it fully supports its leader's fight to reclaim his 65 year membership of the African National Congress.
