The disbanded uMkhonto weSizwe Military Veterans' Association has accused the presidential task team of exacerbated divisions among military veterans.
JOHANNESBURG - The disbanded uMkhonto weSizwe Military Veterans' Association has accused the presidential task team, under the leadership of Deputy President David Mabuza, of exacerbated divisions among military veterans.Calls are mounting for ex-combatants to be release from police custody after ministers Thandi Modise, Mondli Gungubele and Deputy Minister Thabang Makwetla were held against their will inside a Pretoria hotel on Thursday night for close to three hours.
MKMVA spokesperson Carl Niehaus said government’s response to addressing its own failures was a total over-reaction. He said the undermining and disbanding of legitimate structures had created a dangerous leadership vacuum leading to splinter groups used by the presidential task team to divide and rule while pinning military veterans against one another.
