Former ANC MP Mervyn Dirks replaces Kwazi Mbanjwa, who was suspended over allegations of refusing to hand over party bank accounts.
Former ANC MP Mervyn Dirks has been appointed Chief Whip of the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party’s Parliamentary Caucus in the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Legislature. Dirks replaces Kwazi Mbanjwa, who was suspended this week. The party said it has full confidence in Dirks and “trusts he will execute his responsibilities with precision and the utmost diligence”. In a leaked letter, secretary-general Floyd Shivambu accused Mbanjwa of refusing to hand over the party’s bank accounts.
“Despite a directive from the high command to hand over all MK party banking accounts to the provincial convener, Mr Willies Mchunu, the treasurer-general, Dr Thanti Mthanti, and the party leader, Inkosi Chiliza, by the 4th of December 2024, you failed and/or refused to do so. “To add onto your non-compliance or refusal, on 10th of December 2024, you wrote to the Kwazulu-Natal legislature without the required consent from the president of the MKP or national high command, unconstitutionally divulging confidential and internal party information to third parties,” read the alleged suspension letter. He is set to undergo an internal disciplinary process, with the matter also reportedly being referred to the National Prosecutor. Dirks was in 2022 placed on precautionary suspension and stripped of his parliamentary duties for “unbecoming” conduct.
