WESTERN CAPE — Members of the MK Party who were fired from Parliament have taken their case to the Western Cape High Court.
Fired MKP MP head to court
@IsmailAbramjee posted the court application on his X account. The 10 members escalating their dismissal to court will appear before the Western Cape High Court on 21 August. This was after they were removed as MK Party MPs.
The party has been plagued with removals and leadership changes. Arthur Zwane was recently fired from his position as secretary-general after he was reinstated when he resigned, only for him to be shown the door once more.

"Poor Floyd. What has he walked into?"
