Pule Kubheka campaigns for MKP in honour of Edward Ntshingila ahead of local elections

MKP MP Edward Mzikayise Ntshingila, who will be buried on Sunday, praised for leaving political legacy in his party and parliament.

Pule Kubheka has been without a political home for years after abandoning ANC and DA memberships, but for the coming local government elections, he will campaign for the uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MKP) in honour of his late cousin Edward Mzikayise Ntshingila.

Thousands of mourners, including MPs from various political parties are expected to grace the burial of Ntshingila, the former MKP MP, which will start with a service at the Johannesburg City Hall on Sunday morning.

Kubheka, the grieving family’s spokesperson, said Ntshingila, a Joint Standing Committee on Intelligence (JSCI) member, would be laid to rest at Westpark Cemetery, the resting home of struggle veterans Alfred Nzo, Joe Modise, Ahmed Kathrada and child HIV/AIDS activist Nkosi Johnson.

Others buried at Westpark include former ANC secretary-generals Duma Nokwe, former Defence minister Joe Modise and former ANC deputy secretary-general Jessie Duarte.
