Mkhwebane joins a growing list of high-profile politicians who have left the EFF, such as Floyd Shivambu, Mzwanele Manyi, and others, to join the MKP.
For Mkhwebane MKP feels like ‘home’ as the principles of the party resonate with her deeply and calls for unity among progressive political parties.
“I am at home,” said Mkhwebane
“Let’s find a way to work together to change the status quo of the country,” she added.
