WATCH | Shivambu confirms free buses for MKP supporters in KZN only

Cape Town – The MK Party (MKP) is set to celebrate its first anniversary on December 15 at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban, prioritising transport for supporters from KwaZulu-Natal.

Party secretary-general Floyd Shivambu confirmed during a media briefing that supporters from other provinces must arrange their own travel.

Free trains will be provided within KZN from areas such as KwaMashu and Umlazi.

“We have secured transportation for all 11 regions in KwaZulu-Natal and 44 municipalities. We want to state that we are not going to provide transport for members and supporters of uMkhonto weSizwe from other provinces. The capacity of the stadium and the logistical arrangements and preparedness that we have put in place will not be adequate to host the entire country.

Shivambu extended invitations to allied parties, including the EFF and ATM, to deliver messages of support, despite tensions with the EFF, which lost members to MKP.

The celebrations coincide with the EFF’s third elective conference and the ANC’s uMkhonto we Sizwe commemoration, both marking December 16.
