Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party says if it were in government, it would have scrapped the Constitution within the first 100 days in favour of parliamentary sovereignty.<\/p>\n

Parliamentary leader John Hlophe has slammed the governing coalition, saying it\u2019s been a let-down for the masses.<\/p>\n

In line with its ideals, the MK Party plans to table legislation soon to pave the way for land expropriation without compensation.<\/p>\n

The MK Party said it\u2019s unimpressed by the Government of National Unity (GNU) which it says is in effect a coalition led by the Democratic Alliance (DA).<\/p>\n

<\/b>
\nOn Thursday, Hlophe presented the party\u2019s alternative that it would have implemented in the first 100 days in office.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe MK Party would move swiftly to repeal this Constitution, which safeguards the interest of the elite and restore parliamentary sovereignty, which allows elected representatives to act in the best interests of the people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hlophe said the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA)’s decision not to prosecute in the Phala Phala farm matter involving President Cyril Ramaphosa shows the justice system is reserved for the powerful.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a slap in the face of every South African who demands accountability and fairness.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hlophe said as the official opposition, the party is gelling well and has now found its parliamentary feet to challenge unfairness in the system.<\/p>\n
