Africa-Press – South-Africa. The Umkhonto Wesizwe (MK) Party in Gauteng says it hopes sanity will soon prevail for members who left it to join Floyd Shivambu’s Mayibuye Consultation process.
Last month, Shivambu announced the national leadership of his new political organisation, which is dominated by former MK Party members, particularly from Gauteng.
Shivambu’s Mayibuye was established shortly after he was demoted from the position of party secretary general to an ordinary member.
MK Gauteng spokesperson Abel Tau said the defection of members from the organisation has been a setback in uniting black political leaders and parties under one umbrella.
“We still hope that sanity will prevail that people will understand that MK is their home but MK is not just a political home but it is a weapon but which can finally get a two-thirds majority, go into parliament and legislate in a manner that can respond to the socio-economic needs of our people and finally liberate our people and make them players in the economy of their country.”
