The MK Party has entrusted Zanele Makhanya with her collective regional leadership to coordinate elections and win eThekwini Municipality.
As part of the eThekwini Municipality takeover plan, the uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MKP) regional leadership has embarked on a programme to elect ward and zone election teams.
Under normal political conditions, the task of driving election campaigns falls under parties’ existing regional leadership structures, particularly the secretariat; however, the MKP has opted to appoint election teams specifically to drive coordinated election campaigns.
To avoid parallel leadership and to ensure that the election coordinating teams work without interference from the existing leadership, the party dissolved all old structures to pave the way for the election team.
In an exclusive interview with the party’s regional elections coordinator, Zanele Makhanya, on Thursday, she said the party aims to win a two-thirds majority in the upcoming local government elections and has devised a unique strategy that differs from other parties.
