MPUMALANGA – The Umkhonto weSizwe Party (MKP) has appointed a new leadership team for the Mpumalanga province, according to a statement released on January 16, 2025.
As part of the leadership changes, the MKP requested the voluntary resignation of three members from the Mpumalanga legislature, citing that their actions had brought the party into “disrepute”.
In October 2024, the party announced significant leadership changes, with former president Jacob Zuma, the party leader, appointing Advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane as the Mpumalanga convenor.
The move to fill vacancies within the provincial detachment aims to strengthen leadership and guide the political direction of the province.
In accordance with the MKP constitution and following consultations with party officials, several other members were appointed to key roles within the provincial detachment.
The newly appointed leadership team for the Mpumalanga province includes:
Adv. Busisiwe Mkhwebane – Convenor
Charles Masombuka – Deputy Convenor
AB Mkhatshwa – Coordinator
Dr. Nelisiwe Msibi – Deputy Coordinator
Skhwameni Nkuna – Organiser
Njabulo KaChibi – Deputy Organiser
Donald Maphanga – Fundraiser
Mbalenhle Masinga – Deputy Fundraiser
The party has expressed full confidence in the newly appointed leadership team.
“We wish the Mpumalanga Detachment well in their new roles. As they pick up their spears to go to battle for the total liberation of our people, we hope they will serve the Party and South Africans with dedication, diligence, and humility,” said Nhlamulo Ndhlela, the party spokesperson.
