Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Bongani Bingwa speaks with EWN politics editor Tshidi Madia.<\/p>\n

Ten former MPs of the MK Party have approached the court for an order to attach bank accounts in the name of the party and its leader, Jacob Zuma.<\/p>\n

They claim to have been encouraged to \u2018donate\u2019 part of their salaries to Zuma by paying it directly into his Capitec account.<\/p>\n

They were also allegedly told to buy the party leader a cow.<\/p>\n

The former MK MPs applied to attach the accounts to prevent the respondents from disposing of any funds before the launch of a second court application.<\/p>\n

The MPs also intend to apply for compensation as their party membership was terminated shortly after being sworn in.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think these 10 MPs who are crying about loss of revenue, their only remedy can come from the courts.\u201d<\/p>\n

– Tshidi Madia\u201cBuying cows? Money to the leader? I am not shocked at all.\u201d<\/p>\n
