The removal of musician Papa Penny from parliament has left MKP affiliated uMkhonto weSizwe Creatives (MKC) crying foul.
The sacking of popular musician Papa Penny from parliament by the uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MKP) last month left his fellow artists, who are members of the party, crying foul saying they are being treated as stepchildren.
The artists, members of the MKP’s affiliate uMkhonto weSizwe Creatives (MKC), said their mother body is isolating them, something indicating widening division within former president Jacob Zuma-led party ahead of the local government elections.
MKC deputy president Lindani Maphumulo believed that Gezane Eric Kobane, popularly known as Papa Penny, deserved his previous position on parliament’s Sport, Arts, and Culture Portfolio Committee under the MKP banner.
He said the MKP was established to differentiate itself from other parties by placing people from the grassroots in senior positions.
