MK Party In Chaos As Zuma Take Control of All the Money

uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party president Jacob Zuma will now take charge of the party’s finances after revoking all signing authority on the party’s bank accounts from all party officials, including the treasurer-general and secretary-general.

The Mail & Guardian is in possession of a letter dated 23 July in which Zuma communicated his decision to all national, provincial, regional and other relevant party structures.

The publication understands that Zuma’s decision comes after several senior party members were accused by other senior party members of stealing funds from the organisation.

Two weeks ago, the Sunday World reported that the landlord of a building rented by the MK Party in Polokwane for office space had sent a scathing letter to the organisation’s administrator, Thabisile Khumalo, demanding that Zuma’s party vacate the leased premises because of outstanding rent.
