Former President and MK Party leader Jacob Zuma has made a call for all black political parties to come together under one organisation.
This, he said, will make it possible for black people to get a two-thirds majority and take back their country, suggesting that the MK party be used as this vehicle.
Zuma made this call at his party’s one-year anniversary celebrations at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban.
Zuma told thousands of MK Party supporters that white people are more united than black people and are able to easily pursue one mission.
Black people, he said, ought to be able to unite under a single organisation and fight to lift black people out of poverty.
He did not outright say it, but Zuma suggested that the MK party should be the party under which everyone unites.
“In the coming elections, as black people, let’s forget our different political parties and vote for a single party as blacks to get back our land,” said Zuma.
Zuma has been saying that he established the MK party to rescue the ANC, which has since expelled him.
It emerged recently that Zuma has also tried to collapse the EFF into the MK party.
This attempt was made clear in a report said to have surprisingly been compiled by former EFF national chair Mpofu while he was still in the EFF. Mpofu has since left the EFF and joined the MK party.
The EFF at the time rejected this suggestion.
