MK Party cancels rally to launch LGE manifesto

The uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party has cancelled its rally to launch its local government election manifesto amid the continued hospitalization of party leader Jacob Zuma.

The Siyathatha Rally was scheduled to take place on Sunday.

However, the party said it cancelled the rally to focus on ward-level community engagement.

It said the manifesto will now be distributed electronically on Thursday to party structures and members.

Meanwhile, the party said an urgent independent investigation will be conducted to look into the discrepancies in the final councillor candidate list that has sparked anger among party members.
