Ahead of the crucial elections planned for May 29, supporters of South Africa’s MK Party assembled for a large-scale gathering in Kwa-Zulu Natal on Saturday. Established by former President Jacob Zuma, aged 82, the MK Party seeks to have a major influence in the forthcoming elections. Previously leading the African National Congress (ANC) of South Africa, Zuma left his presidency in 2018 under claims of corruption. At the event, fans fervently approved of the party’s agenda.
An Aim for Release
Supporting uMkhonto we Sizwe, Siboniso Gwala voiced the party’s general appeal and dedication to emancipation. He underlined the party’s historical importance as well as its aim of freeing South Africa.
“Thus, uMkhonto is a calling for South Africa as a whole, regardless of who you are, not merely for the people of Natal. We used to run spears before firearms came. Every man guarded his house with a spear. The spear is, therefore, what will free this nation. Sure, uMkhonto will definitely bring glory to the nation. As time passes, we will address everything else. UMkhonto will free black people. I cannot talk about the ANC since they have their own views or the EFF since they also have their own ideas.

Concurrently, another group of Eastern Cape MK Party supporters assembled to pray for the party’s victory. The interim leader of the uMkhonto, Sizwe Des Van Rooyen, stressed the significance of their candidate, Jacob Zuma.
“Our candidate is comrade President Jacob Zuma. We are so stating our masses and working extremely hard to ensure that our two-thirds majority of masses go out in numbers and help us win these elections. And by means of that procedure, we can thus guarantee that, upon our visit to parliament, the only person South Africans wish to see as the president of this nation is chosen.
A pivotal election
Since the end of apartheid in 1994, the forthcoming election could be South Africa’s most important in thirty years and provide the ANC’s long-standing rule with the toughest test. Strong advocacy of the MK Party and the great turnout of the demonstration show the growing support for Zuma’s leadership and party agenda.
