MK Party Crisis Before Election | Johannesburg News

MK Party chaos erupts as Jacob Zuma disbands his presidential task team for the second time in six weeks and replaces eThekwini’s mayoral candidate just 12 days after appointing her — amid allegations of tampered councillor lists ahead of November’s local elections. National chair Apostle Mxolisi Phakathi now steps in as the new mayoral hopeful, while both Hlophe-Mkhwanazi and another official are ousted from the National Party Liaison Committee, leaving MK with zero representatives on the electoral watchdog. With nominations locked in since August 28, the party can’t undo the damage — but Zuma vows accountability, calling the meddling a betrayal of party integrity. Amid protests and confusion, MK is rallying members to unite behind their candidates before the election clock ticks down.
