The MK Party fired Mzwanele Manyi from his job as chief whip after six months. Party leaders chose Colleen Makhubele to take over his duties during Tuesday's meetings. Manyi becomes the second chief whip that party officials have removed since joining Parliament. The party serves as the primary opposition group to the government. Leaders want fresh faces to represent their interests better.
Manyi left the Economic Freedom Fighters party to join MK in August 2024. He came with other former government workers, such as Lucky Montana and Brian Molefe. Floyd Shivambu also switched parties at the same time from EFF. The move surprised many political watchers across South Africa. These changes significantly shook up both political parties.
Speaker Thoko Didiza welcomed Makhubele to her new position during House meetings. She informed other members about the leadership change before beginning the regular business. John Hlophe leads the MK Party delegation and announced that Manyi would step down. He believes Makhubele brings strong leadership skills to the job. The party expects her to guide them through important parliamentary debates ahead.
