Brian Molefe steps down as MP to lead MKP as Treasurer General

Brian Molefe will now be the MK Party’s Treasurer General (TG) after resigning from the party’s Member of Parliament (MP).

This was announced by the party in a statement on Wednesday.

The party said the decision was made by the leader, Jacob Zuma.

“This emphasises the strategic importance of strengthening organisational capacity, financial discipline and resource mobilisation as central pillars in advancing the mission of the movement,” the party said.

The party affirmed that this transition is in full alignment with that directive and with the collective interests of the organisation.

The MKP commended Molefe for the disciplined manner in which he has served in Parliament and for his unwavering commitment to the revolutionary programme of the movement.

In a statement, the party said his redeployment to focus on the critical task of building the financial sustainability of the party reflected the organisational principle that cadres must be placed where they are most effective in serving the people and advancing the struggle for economic liberation.

“We reiterate that all members and public representatives of the MKP remain bound by organisational discipline and by the guidance of the President and the leadership collective.

“The unity, coherence and effectiveness of the party remain paramount as we continue to champion the aspirations of our people,” it said.

The MKP wished Molefe success in the execution of his new role.

It further called upon all structures to extend their full support to ensure the strengthening of the party in preparation for the decisive tasks ahead.
