Tensions arise within MK Party following release of election results
The members accuse the Ekurhuleni regional leadership of failing to follow party guidelines
Discontent has emerged within the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party following the recent release of election results, as dissatisfied members gathered in Gandhi Square, Johannesburg CBD, to voice their grievances regarding the party's internal processes. The members are alleging that the Ekurhuleni regional leadership did not adhere to party guidelines when compiling candidate lists.
They are now urging the national leadership to step in and address the issue, accusing certain individuals of disregarding orders to dissolve the election task team. Castro Mlaba, a former regional secretary for the Ekurhuleni MKP, claims that they were informed the original election task teams would be dissolved immediately. However, he observed them remaining active throughout the election process, leading the list and some even combining it in a manner that favored themselves.
Mlaba emphasizes that the guidelines are clear, and he trusts the national leadership will address their concerns.
