The MK Party is a party born of struggle, shaped by the resilience of South Africa ’s working class, and fuelled by the unyielding pursuit of economic justice and social transformation, says the writer.OPINION: Helen Zille and her fellow travellers are victims of their propaganda. They undermine and underestimate the MKP at their own peril. With ANC on an irreversible decline, MKP has become a key player in black politics, writes Prof. Sipho Seepe.
Far from embarking on the next phase of the economic struggle, the ANC’s preoccupation is on remaining in office. The failure of the post-1994 political dispensation derives from the party’s failure to dismantle the apartheid architecture. With the ANC seeming to have betrayed its historical mission, the MKP has positioned itself as “the uncompromising custodian of progressive leftist politics. It is a party born of struggle, shaped by the resilience of South Africa’s working class, and fuelled by the unyielding pursuit of economic justice and social transformation.” If electoral outcomes are anything to go by, its message appears to resonate with a sizeable group of voters.
Again, thanks to collusion by the DA, the ANC, and IFP, that was not to be. There is little doubt that despite spirited efforts by some in the media fraternity to discredit its leader, the party has continued to gain traction. It cannot be gainsaid, as its Secretary General Floyd Shivambu averred, that the party is “attracting the best the brains in terms of people who are supposed to lead the organisation”.
