Cape Town – Ponani Makhubele has resigned as the uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MKP) Limpopo Deputy Organiser and as a party member, citing lack of transparency and nepotism.
She accused Provincial Co-ordinator Maraga Anikie Tshilidzi of running the party unilaterally and replacing officials with friends.
“I want to confirm that yes it’s true that I have resigned, also as a member of the party, what I want to indicate is that it’s organisationally and politically, because I felt that there is no transparency within the organisation and it’s one person’s show in particular in Limpopo province, whereby the Provincial Co-ordinator, Maraga Anikie Tshilidzi is the one who wants to do everything, wants to run all the office replacing appointed members with her friends,” Makhubele wrote in her resignation letter.
