UMervyn Dirks, owayeyiLungu lesiShayamthetho sesiFundazwe (MPL) ku-African National Congress (ANC) KwaZulu-Natal, usememezele ukuzibophezela kwakhe ekulweleni iqembu loMkhonto weSizwe (MK), okumanje ngaphansi kobuholi bakudala. - uMengameli Jacob Zuma. Lesi sinqumo siza ngemuva kwesinqumo sakhe ukuxoshwa ophuma ku-ANC esifundazweni, okuyisinyathelo esesibeke isisekelo sohambo lwakhe olusha lwezepolitiki.

UDirks usephumele obala waphumela obala ngokuthi wathola isaziso sokuxoshwa ku-ANC futhi wezwakalisa nezinhlelo zakhe zokuthi ahoxe isikhashana ngaphambi kokuthi akhankasele ngentshiseko Iphathi ye-MK.

“Yebo, incwadi iqinisile. Ngizodoba izinsuku ezimbili ngemuva kwalokho ngingene emkhankasweni we-MK,”

U-Dirks uqinisekisile.

Phambilini obemele i-ANC ephalamende likazwelonke, uDirks udlulele esiShayamthetho sesiFundazwe saKwaZulu-Natal. Ubudlelwano bakhe ne-ANC buqale ukushuba ngo-2022 kulandela umdonsiswano owaqubuka ngemuva kokuthi uDirks enxuse iStanding Committee on Public Accounts (Scopa) ukuthi iphenye uMengameli Cyril Ramaphosa ngezinsolo zokusebenzisa budedengu izimali zomphakathi uma kwenziwa imikhankaso. Lezi zinsolo zisuswe yividiyo ekhombisa uRamaphosa ekhuluma ngokusetshenziswa kwezimali zomphakathi emikhankasweni yangaphakathi yeqembu ngesikhathi kuqhubeka umhlangano wekomidi eliphezulu le-ANC.

Yize uDirks ezame konke kodwa akwenzekanga uphenyo ngalezi zinsolo njengoba uRamaphosa ecacisele iScopa ukuthi lezi zindaba ezikhulunywayo sezaziwa wumphakathi. Ukungaboni ngaso linye kuholele ekumisweni kukaDirks kukhokhasi ye-ANC esiShayamthetho sikazwelonke, nokwaholela ekutheni esule esikhundleni waphinde wavela futhi esigungwini sesifundazwe saKwaZulu-Natal.

I-ANC KwaZulu-Natal ibunqamule ngokusemthethweni ubudlelwano noDirks ngemuva kokuvela kokuthi usezihlanganise ne-MK. Ngokusho kukaMnuz Bheki Mtolo, uNobhala wesifundazwe, lesi sinqumo sithathwe kulandela ukuvuma kukaDirks ukuthi usezokweseka kwezombusazwe.

Ephendula ngokuxoshwa kwakhe, u-Dirks ukubeke kwacaca izinhloso zakhe zokugxila eqenjini le-MK kuphela.

“Inhloso yami manje wukuhlanganisa amavoti e-MK. Ngeke ngikhulume ngamanye amaqembu epolitiki,”

wamemezela.

Uphenyo lwamalungu e-ANC ahlubuka eqenjini le-MK yisigungu sesifundazwe luvunyiwe nguMtolo oveze ukuthi sekunamasonto ambalwa kuqhubeka ukubhekwa.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, uJacob Zuma uke wamiswa ku-ANC ngasekuqaleni konyaka ngenxa yobudlelwano bakhe ne-MK. ISouth African National Civic Organisation (Sanco) KwaZulu-Natal nayo yamxosha uZuma ngokungafiki kwakhe emihlanganweni selokhu aqokwa njengoSihlalo wayo esifundazweni. Phezu kwalezi zinxushunxushu kwezombusazwe, iSanco, edlelana ne-ANC, izwakalise ukweseka iqembu elibusayo okhethweni oluzayo, igcizelela ukubaluleka kokunqoba kwe-ANC ngoMeyi.
