UPHIKO loMkhonto weSizwe (MK) luveze ukuthi alukakutholi ukuxhumana okusemthethweni okuvela kumsunguli walo owaxoshwa, uMnuz Jabulani Khumalo, ecela kukhishwe uMnuz Jacob Zuma esikhundleni sokuba ngumengameli weqembu.

Impendulo ilandelwe ngemuva kokuvela kwezincwadi okuthiwa zivela kuKhumalo ezinkundleni zokuxhumana ngoLwesibili. Lezi zincwadi okuthiwa ziqondiswe kwiKhomishini yoKhetho yaseNingizimu Afrika (IEC), zicele ukuthi le nhlangano ikhiphe ngokushesha uJacob Zuma njengomengameli weqembu kanye nommeleli wayo okhethweni. Kubikwa ukuthi uKhumalo uthi uZuma uthatha lezi zikhundla “ngokukhwabanisa”. Kuthiwa uphinde wabhalela uZuma ngqo, emazisa ngokumiswa kwakhe.

However, MK party spokesperson Nhlamulo Ndhlela emphasized that the party had not received any formal communication from Khumalo on the matter, saying:

“We have seen the letters circulating on social media, but we have not received anything formal from him.”

Khumalo’s correspondence comes in the wake of his recent expulsion from the MK party along with four other members. The party explained the decision was part of an effort to “cleanse and purify itself from rogue elements” that could hinder its goal of securing a two-thirds majority.

NgoSepthemba 7, 2023, uKhumalo wabhalisa iqembu le-MK ku-IEC. Encwadini ebhalwe ngoMeyi 5, usole uZuma ngokungena ezikhundleni zakhe ngendlela engafanele nokwenza izenzo ezahlukene zokungaziphathi kahle eqenjini le-MK. Unxuse i-IEC ukuthi ithathe isinyathelo ngokushesha:

"Kulezi zimo, ngicela, ngokushesha, ukuthi iKhomishana yoKhetho isuse igama likaMnu. Zuma 'njengobuso' be-MK Party."

Njengamanje uZuma nguyena oseqhulwini ohlwini lwabazomela iqembu le-MK ePhalamende futhi uwubuso obuthathe indawo kaKhumalo okhethweni.

Khonamanjalo, i-MK Party Youth League izwakalise ukukhathazeka kwayo ngokhulumela uNkateko Mkhabela, wayichitha imizamo kaKhumalo:

“Siyamenqaba ngokuphelele uMnu. Jabulani Khumalo nanoma yiziphi izinhlangano ezihlangene naye futhi sinqaba ngokuqinile ukuholwa ngumuntu ohambahamba ebusuku,” kusho uMkhabela.

Uphinde waxwayisa ngokubukela phansi ubuholi bukaZuma:

“Sixwayisa uMnu. Jabulani Khumalo kanye nozakwabo abangahlakaniphile ngokubukela phansi uMengameli u-JG Zuma futhi, ngenxa yalokho, umzabalazo wethu esihlangene wenkululeko yezomnotho ekuphileni kwethu.”

IZINDABA EZIPHUMAYO:

UMengameli Jacob Zuma ungumnikazi osemthethweni we-MK Party kanye ne-ANC

Akakwazi ukuxoshwa noma ukususwa yinoma yimuphi umncane.
