MK Party expels two members with immediate effect
The MK Party has expelled MPs Pumlani Kubukeli and Dr Khanyisile Litchfield-Tshabalala with immediate effect, accusing them of conduct that damaged the party's reputation and undermined organisational unity. The party has also begun the process of having the pair removed from the National Assembly.
The uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party has expelled two of its members, Pumlani Kubukeli and Khanyisile Litchfield-Tshabalala, immediately following allegations that their actions tarnished the party's reputation and weakened internal cohesion. The decision was made on Thursday by the party's National Spokesperson, Sifiso Mahlangu, who stated that the members' conduct was detrimental to the organization's good name and integrity.
Mahlangu explained that the termination was a response to the alleged damage to the party's reputation and the undermining of its unity and organizational discipline. The party has initiated the process of removing the two politicians from the National Assembly, and the Secretary-General has written to the Speaker to formally communicate the decision and begin the removal process.
In their announcement, the MK Party reaffirmed its commitment to internal discipline and organizational cohesion. Mahlangu emphasized that all members are expected to adhere to the party's constitution and act in the best interests of unity and comradeship. Despite the disciplinary action, the party wished the former members well in their future endeavors, with the President's office extending its blessings to Kubukeli and Litchfield-Tshabalala.
