MOSES MABHIDA, KWAZULU-NATAL—The MK Party cried foul against the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA). The party's spokesperson, Nhlamulo Ndhlela, accused the SOE of not fulfilling its end of an R1.1 million deal for the MK Party's anniversary on 15 December 20124.

Ndhlela accuses PRASA

Ndhlela spoke to @Newzroom405 in a video that the broadcaster published on X during the height of the party's anniversary celebrations at the Moses Mabhida Stadium. Jacob Zuma officially announced the MKP one year ago at Orlando Stadium in Soweto. Ndhlela said PRASA sabotaged their event. PRASA quoted the party to use three trains to transport supporters to the event.

He said the trains were supposed to bring supporters from townships like KwaMashu and Umlazi, but they were cancelled at the last minute. He claimed PRASA said they do not have train services on Sundays. Ndhlela added that nothing would deter the party from performing well at the 2026 local government elections, taking the country, and winning the 2029 general elections.

Briefly News contacted PRASA for comment. It did not reply when the story was published.
