MK Party denies allegations that DA's Imran Keeka was told to 'go back to Pakistan'

DA MPL Dr Imraan Keeka accused uMkhonto weSizwe Party MPLs of various unethical conduct.

The DA in the KwaZulu-Natal legislature has accused uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MKP) MPLs of having committed serious unethical conduct, including that one of the MPLs applied to have a state-paid chauffeur using a falsified doctor’s report, while another one made racist remarks.

DA’s legislature Chief Whip Imran Keeka made the allegations during the full sitting of the House on Tuesday and later released a statement with the same allegations.

Keeka used debates on three departmental budgets to attack the MKP, which he said started misbehaving when physically attacking Speaker Nontembeko Boyce during a vote on the no-confidence motion against the provincial Cabinet in December last year.

“Last Friday during the Health Budget Debate, MKP members were heard telling me to go back to Pakistan. Yes, I lived and worked there. Then, during last week's Public Works Budget Debate, the Honourable Bongumusa Mkhize said that once the MKP was done with African foreigners, white South Africans would be next,” said Keeka.
