Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) MP Carl Niehaus has fired shots at his former comrade, the axed MK Party chief whip, Mzwanele Manyi, calling him an opportunist, and warning that instability and ideological decay will continue to plague the party’s ranks.
In a social media comment on ’s report, Niehaus laughed off Manyi’s dismissal, stating that more should be expected.
Niehaus said: “LOL, I warned this chap. Anyhow he – and the other opportunists like him – made their bed of thorns, now let them sleep on it.
“Mark my words: the musical chairs will continue there in the merry-go-round party, there is no ideological centre that holds.”
Manyi has been dismissed from his position in parliament, reported on Tuesday morning.
Colleen Makhubele has been appointed as the new Chief Whip of MKP.
The announcement began circulating on MK Party WhatsApp groups but has now been confirmed to by the MK Party’s Deputy Chief Whip, Muzi Ntshingila.
The WhatsApp message reads: “Please be informed that Hon. Mzwanele Manyi has been relieved of his duties as Chief Whip with immediate effect. We thank him for his service and dedication to the MK Party and wish him the very best in his future endeavours.
“We are pleased to announce that Hon. Colleen Makhubele has been appointed as the new Chief Whip of the MK Party. We are confident that she will lead with strength and vision as we continue to advance our collective mission”.
One senior party official told that his arrogance finally caused him to fall on his sword.
“He fails to listen and protect his caucus and wants to shine in the media alone and not give anyone a chance,” the party official said.
According to Niehaus, such acts will be carried out through the same process.
