Dr. John Hlophe, the MK Party parliamentary leader and deputy president, confirmed that he removed party spokesperson Nhlamulo Ndhlela from the parliamentary whippery team due to his disruptive conduct. Hlophe sent letters to party president Jacob Zuma expressing concerns about Ndhlela and MP Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla. Despite Hlophe's dismissal of Ndhlela, the latter disputed the authenticity of the removal letter, alleging it contained a forged signature and claiming he had not initially received it. Hlophe also clarified that chief whip Colleen Makhubele remains in office after a forged letter was circulated attempting to remove her. The MK Party leadership is addressing internal turmoil related to these disputes within the parliamentary caucus.
