The uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party has announced the immediate suspension of party member Mmabatho Mokoena-Zondi while an internal investigation into allegations of corruption is conducted.

Mokoena-Zondi is out on R30,000 bail for extorting money from her party’s parliamentary staff.

She was appointed as the MK Party's National Assembly Chief Whip in February 2026.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, party spokesperson Sifiso Mahlangu said President Jacob Zuma met with national officials and approved a series of decisions relating to the matter.
