During a party rally on the weekend, Dali Mpofu, a senior leader of the MK party, said the party wants to gain control of the Ekurhuleni in the municipal elections. “We have analysed the party’s performance with the recent elections. We would point out that it does have some footprint in some branches of the ANC in particular,” he said.
“The party’s leader is a former leader of the ANC who, for some reason, has a membership base who believes in him,” he said.“Every political party that is established has a potential risk one way or the other to the African National Congress . As they establish themselves, there is a pattern of them poaching from the ANC,” he said.“We cannot ignore the fact that there is tribal loyalty to the MK party.
