Dlamini-Zuma refutes reports she's joining MK Party
Minister in the Presidency responsible for Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, has refuted reports that she is joining the Umkhonto weSizwe Party.
The ANC’s longest-serving Member of Parliament recently declined nomination to become an MP after the 2024 general elections.
Her imminent resignation from the National Assembly has sparked speculation that she could resign from the ANC and join the MK Party.
Several ANC members have followed in the footsteps of former president Jacob Zuma, and thrown their weight behind the political newcomers.
"I'm a very hornet and open person; if I were, I would have told you,” Dlamini-Zuma said in Limpopo on Wednesday.
“If I'm saying I'm in the ANC, I'm in the ANC. Those who are speculating, I don't know... it is their wish maybe, but it is not going to come through.”
She was speaking to members of the media after launching the Digital Innovation Lab at the University of Limpopo.
Dlamini-Zuma, who is the university’s chancellor, said she wants to create space for young people to serve in Parliament.
"I'm just saying let other younger ones come in. That doesn't mean that I'm not going to work. I'm still going to do what I did before I went to Parliament. I worked for youth, for women long before I went to Parliament, so I will continue doing that."
