MK party's star fading fast

'GUERRILLA OUTFIT': NO MOVEMENT TOWARDS ECONOMIC FREEDOM, NO ELECTED STRUCTURES.

The unravelling of Jacob Zuma's uMkhonto weSizwe has begun and it could end up being one of the (MK) party smallest parties in the country in future, experts say.

They said the party was moving towards being a Jacob Zuma family project and that would cause it to lose support in future.

The ongoing infighting within MK is also set to continue to tear the party apart as long as it fails to elect political structures and leadership to unite the party behind a common goal.

This follows the resignation of senior MK member Nhlanhla Nene from the party because MK is being run by Zuma's daughter, Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla.

He also cited the party chopping and changing its public representatives and deviating from its path to achieve economic emancipation.

MK recently unceremoniously fired 18 MPs, allegedly for mismanagement. The members, whose party memberships were also terminated, were axed barely two months after being sworn in as parliamentarians.

"Today the MK is not wanted even by the EFF because it's regarded as a Zuma family and siblings project," said Nene.

"Over the course of seven months, MK has not managed to translate its overwhelming political power in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal into the attainment of economic freedom for our people."
