MKP Reshuffle: Mary Phadi Out, Busisiwe Mkhwebane Appointed Mpumalanga Leader Amidst Movement 'Cleaning'

Johannesburg, South Africa – In a significant political development, Mary Phadi has been confirmed as no longer a member of the uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MKP). Concurrently, Busisiwe Mkhwebane has been officially appointed as the party's leader in Mpumalanga, signaling what is described as a 'cleaning of the movement' by Msholozi. The decision regarding Phadi's status stems from a suspension letter penned by former Secretary-General Floyd Shivambu. During a recent media briefing, Shivambu clarified that he was informed of this decision at the first meeting following his appointment. He further provided context regarding the alleged influences and dynamics surrounding the MKP leadership. The announcement comes amidst ongoing efforts to streamline and strengthen the party's internal structures.
