SA new party formed

Leader of South Africa’s governing African National Congress (ANC), Jacob Zuma has accused a breakaway faction of the party of being bigamists.



Mr. Zuma is upset that former members of his party have formed an alliance with opposition parties shortly after leaving the ANC.



The breakaway faction, known as The South African Democratic Congress (SADC), is expected to officially register as a party with the Independent Electoral Commission today.



The party was formed from ex-ANC members, who left the party after former President Thabo Mbeki stepped down in September.



The SADC is being led by the former defence minister and ANC chairman, Mosiuoa Lekota.
