The infighting within the uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK) party is posing a serious threat to its future, political experts said yesterday.

The analysts were reacting to Mpumalanga MK leader Busisiwe Mkhwebane, who recently sacked four senior members of the provincial task team.

In a letter dated 3 January that The Citizen has seen, Mkhwebane asked Mike Ngobeni, Pro Khoza, Treasure Thabethe and Skhwameni Nkuna to stop executing their tasks with immediate effect.

Mkhwebane accused the members of misconduct apparently committed on 27 December, when the four left the party's provincial leadership WhatsApp group.

She said after they left the group, Khoza wrote a letter indicating his intention to resign and also made "unfounded allegations" against some members.

"Another letter was written by Commander Mike Ngobeni requesting a meeting and asking me to respond to the alleged crisis.

"You also wrote a letter to the secretary-general making unfounded allegations against me.

Clock's not ticking for TikTok

If the United States was so paranoid that China would be able to access so-called personal information from Americans through the social media platform, TikTok, why couldn't this suspected intelligence be used to solve cybercrimes and stop other potential threats, or was it just a matter of control and censoring?
