  "account": "Former MK Party member Khanyisile Litchfield-Tshabalala has claimed she was not given any reasons for her expulsion from the party. The party declared her immediate removal alongside Pumlani Kubukeli earlier today, citing acts and conduct that they deemed detrimental to their good name, reputation, integrity, and interests. According to the party, Dr. Litchfield-Tshabalala and Mr. Kubukeli had undermined the party's unity and organizational discipline.\n\nLitchfield-Tshabalala, however, insists she cannot recall any actions on her part that may have harmed the party's reputation. She expresses confusion over the situation, stating that while her character might have been disreputably exposed, the real issue is the absence of a clear explanation for her expulsion. Litchfield-Tshabalala remains optimistic about the eventual emergence of truth, noting that falsehoods cannot withstand time, and the truth will inevitably come to light.",
