The uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party has thrown shade at President Cyril Ramaphosa while congratulating Donald Trump on his inauguration.
The party, led by Jacob Zuma, congratulated Trump on being officially sworn in as the 47th president of the United States of America, saying he was a “beacon of hope and sovereignty.” Trump was officially sworn in as the country’s President on 20 January at the US Capitol.
MK Party wants Trump to investigate Phala Phala
During an official statement in which the MK Party praised the new US President, they also mentioned the infamous Phala Phala saga, in which millions of dollars were stolen from the President’s game farm in Limpopo. Although it occurred in 2020, Phala Phala remains a big issue today.
