The MK Party, led by former president Jacob Zuma, has delayed the announcement of its metro mayoral candidates as the party intensifies preparations for the November 4 elections and calls for a decisive victory.
The uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party has postponed its planned unveiling of mayoral candidates for metropolitan municipalities after the party said one of its candidates survived what appeared to be a planned hijacking.
The party was due to hold a media briefing in eThekwini on Friday afternoon to formally announce the candidates ahead of the November 4 local government elections.
In a statement, the MK Party said the briefing had been moved from 2 pm to 4 pm, with the venue remaining unchanged.
“One of our mayoral candidates has survived what looks like a planned hijacking attack on the way to the press briefing scheduled for this afternoon,” the party said.
