Jacob Zuma is concerned about Umkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party members who fight for positions within the party.
Speaking during a mini-rally in Kwa-Ximba, north of Durban, the MK Party president expressed concern that members were wasting energy on activities that didn’t benefit the party.
Zuma was also worried that their behaviour would put other people off from joining the party.
Zuma criticises members for infighting
During the rally, Zuma said those fighting for positions were delaying the growth of the party.
“I don’t know if you see that there are challenges and disputes. Some of them come from within the party. What are they fighting for? Please tell me.”
He added that when the MK Party leads the country, there will be enough positions for everyone.
“Some people spend their energy on things that cannot benefit the party. What is the rush? Because when we rule the country, there will be more positions,” Zuma stated.
