Limpho Hani Defends Zuma’s Decision to Establish MK Party, Criticises ANC

Limpho Hani, widow of late anti-apartheid struggle veteran Chris Hani, has voiced support for former president Jacob Zuma’s decision to establish the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party, arguing that the African National Congress (ANC) failed to recognise and support some of the people who fought for South Africa’s liberation.

Hani believes Zuma should not be blamed for creating the new political movement, suggesting that the ANC contributed to its formation by neglecting former struggle veterans and members who felt abandoned by the organisation.

She argued that the ANC cannot claim ownership of its members, emphasising that South Africans have the constitutional freedom to associate with and support political parties of their choice.

According to Hani, people who once supported the ANC should not be criticised for moving to another political organisation if they believe their interests are no longer represented.

Her remarks come amid continued political tensions between the ANC and the MK Party, which was established by Zuma and has attracted several former ANC supporters.

The comments could also reignite debate within the ANC leadership, particularly as Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula has previously been vocal in his criticism of Zuma and his political project.
