Colleen Makhubele has made it clear that her recent decision to join the uMkhonto Wesizwe (MK) party was not motivated by any promises of a position or role within the party. This announcement comes amidst ongoing scrutiny of her political moves, as she is known for frequently switching party affiliations.
Makhubele’s transition to MK follows her resignation from the South African Rainbow Alliance (Sara), a party she had been a significant figure in. Despite the controversial nature of her departure from Sara and the claims of election rigging made by the party, Makhubele has reiterated that her decision to join MK was driven by her vision for a unified approach among black political forces rather than personal gain.
In her statement, Makhubele emphasized that she had not been offered any specific position or role within MK. Her primary motivation, she asserts, is to support the broader objective of consolidating political efforts and fostering unity within the black political community. Makhubele’s focus remains on contributing to the party’s goals and vision rather than seeking individual advancement.
Her clarification comes in response to perceptions that her move might be seen as opportunistic or self-serving. By highlighting her lack of a formal offer, Makhubele aims to underscore her commitment to the ideological and strategic objectives of MK rather than any personal or career-driven interests.
