WATCH: Thakur-Rajbansi rejects coalition claims after attending MK Party event
While there is no pre-poll coalition, the MF said they will support initiatives which are in the interest of the community.
In a recent event, MF leader Shameen Thakur-Rajbansi rejected suggestions of a pre-election alliance with the MK Party. The invitation to attend the MK Party’s Simunye We Are One campaign launch was extended by their national convenor, Visvin Reddy. Thakur-Rajbansi was seated with MK Party candidates during the event, after sharing a message of support.
She clarified that the MF's support for the MK Party's social-cohesion initiative was not a pre-election agreement. The MF's policy is to support such initiatives post-elections, if they align with the community's interests. Reddy, in turn, spoke about building bridges where apartheid built walls, to unite South Africans irrespective of race, tribe, religion, social status or surname.
He praised Thakur-Rajbansi's political mentorship from the late MF leader Amichand Rajbansi, emphasizing the inseparability of the future of South African Indians from the majority.
