Umkhonto weSizwe MK Party internal structures have complained that loyal party members have been overlooked for leadership roles in favor of newly joined high profile politicians.
In a leaked internal letter addressed to party leader, Jacob Zuma, the MKP National Strategic Committee laid out concerns over various topics within the party, namely its direction and leadership.
In a leaked internal document from the MK Party, internal structures have raised their concerns about the party and its current trajectory. The letter points out what it calls murmurs around worries of the party failing to deliver what it had promised during its inception.
"This is a call for internal criticism. It is not, you know, a call for war or for anything. Were just saying that these are the things that are happening. And the repercussions of having people parachuted to leadership positions, we see a failure to properly engage the problems, and we see dismissals left, right and centre, mainly because people do not have the proper information to deal with such problems," says chairperson of MKP Strategy Committee Isaac Leshona.
One of the main concerns listed is the overlooking of internal people when it comes to appointing leadership roles, saying the MK Party does not have a scarcity of leadership or skills.
