In a decisive move, the MK Party has expelled Jabulani Khumalo, the founder who attempted to claim ownership and control of the party. Khumalo’s expulsion marks a significant victory for the MK Party, which had been embroiled in a bitter internal conflict with its former chairman.
Khumalo was expelled by the MK Party in April, but he had defiantly stated his intention to attend the first sitting of parliament as a representative of the party. However, Xolile George, Secretary of Parliament, has put an end to Khumalo’s plans, informing him that he will not be allowed to attend the first sitting of parliament.
This move comes after George had initially stated that Khumalo would remain a member of parliament for a year due to rules of parliament and the IEC’s submission guidelines. However, the MK Party’s expulsion of Khumalo has taken precedence, and George has now confirmed that Khumalo’s membership in parliament has been revoked.
By expelling Khumalo, the MK Party has reaffirmed its commitment to its founding principles and values. The party’s decision also sends a strong message to its members and supporters, demonstrating its willingness to take decisive action against those who seek to undermine its unity and progress.
With Khumalo’s expulsion, the MK Party can now focus on consolidating its gains and building a brighter future for its members and the country. The party’s victory is a testament to its strength and resilience, and a clear indication that it will not be held hostage by individual ambitions.
