The uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party says the letters calling for the removal of some of its members are fraudulent.
Two letters, addressed to MK Party president, Jacob Zuma, have been circulating on social media, with its parliamentary leader, John Hlophe’s signature. One letter called for Zuma to deal with his daughter, Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla and national spokesperson, Nhlamulo Ndhlela.
The other called for Zuma to remove MK’s chief whip Colleen Makhubele, describing her as an autocratic leader. However, the party’s spokesperson claims Makhubele remains in her position.
During a television interview with Newzroom Afrika, Ndhlela claimed Hlophe’s digital signature was fraudulently added to the letters. He claimed that the MK Party is in a stable position, despite the recent public squabbles.
BOLD CLAIMS MADE AGAINST MK PARTY MEMBERS
In the first letter, Ndhlela was accused of undermining the organisation, engaging in factional activities, and using insulting language. The letter also claimed that he is disrespectful and obstructive.
It called for Zuma to discipline Zuma-Sambudla for interrupting proceeding and causing chaos during a caucus meeting. Meanwhile, Makhubele was described as autocratic.
COPE REACTS TO COMMENTS ABOUT COLLEEN MAKHUBELE
Congress of the People (Cope) commented on the allegations surrounding its former member. Makhubele was axed from the party in 2023.
Commenting on X, Cope shared that the MK Party will understand why she was fired from the party, describing Makhubele as a disaster.
