Former public protector and EFF MP Busisiwe Mkhwebane has officially joined uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK) party. She was introduced as a new member during a media briefing yesterday, where the party also announced its newly appointed provincial leaders. Mkhwebane shared the stage with former ANC member and KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) premier Willies Mchunu, as well as MK party president Jacob Zuma.
The former public protector resigned from the EFF on 16 October, a year after joining the party. During the briefing, Mkhwebane was announced as the MK party's convenor for Mpumalanga, eliciting loud cheers and jubilant celebrations from the crowd.
"Advocate Mkhwebane is a seasoned public servant and true fighter for justice and equal rights," MK party secretary-general Sifiso Maseko said.
