Zuma: MKP won’t hold elective conferences
Leader of the uMkhonto we Sizwe Party, Jacob Zuma, said his party will have consultative conferences rather than elective conferences.
The MK Party addressed the media and supporters in Johannesburg on Friday on the party’s newly crafted constitution.
Zuma criticised the role of money in leadership elections.
“Why must we keep on electing? We call it democracy but I'm sure all of you would know that today those who win are those who have the money. Is that democracy?
“You know that they are presidents who are president because they have all the money but they can't do the presidency.”
He said wealthy individuals often undermine elected leaders.
“If you get elected they think you are not doing what they want, they then give money to your comrades without you knowing; that pay people to be able to have so-and-so become a leader.”
“So we have leaders who are not the leaders of the membership.”
