Mchunu’s mention of the MK Party being the people’s choice in KwaZulu-Natal is a reference to the party receiving 45% of the votes in this year’s general elections.
“Now if you sit there and you are a politician, you must ask yourself why did they choose MK Party, and in my view they chose a party that has an opportunity to now do what we were unable to do in the past for the people who belong to the working class. Africans in particular, because those are the people who have been at the receiving end of this political system. My reason for joining MK Party is that it is the people’s choice, it is also my choice,” he said.
Mkhwebane, the impeached former public protector who subsequently joined the EFF but quit the red berets a week ago to “rest”, said the MK Party felt like home.
“I joined the MK Party because I felt that it’s a home that understands the persecution of black people, the challenges we are facing and fighting the captured system. So I could relate to the constitution of MK — I am not lost I am home,” she said.
Head of presidency for the MK Party Magasela Mzobe described Mkhwebane as the quintessential MK member, adding that the party welcomed her warmly.
“The aim is to attract all South Africans who have demonstrated resilience and commitment in fighting for the struggle of the liberation of black people in South Africa — that is the foundational principle of the organisation, to attract and harness all the talents of black people fighting for the total liberation of black people.
“She has demonstrated she is not part of the captured and the establishment even at the expense of her political career. She is not joining for self-enrichment, she has risked her own comfort,” Mzobe said.
