Ponani Makhubele has stepped down from her position as uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MKP) Limpopo Deputy Organiser, citing concerns over the party’s lack of transparency.

Makhubele, who was appointed to the provincial leadership in January this year, formally announced her resignation from both her post and the party on Monday.

In her resignation, Makhubele says there are also issues of nepotism in the party.

“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.”

MKP Spokesperson Thandi Shihundla has described Makhubele’s allegations as unfounded. She, however, says they have accepted her resignation.
