DURBAN - The Umkhonto WeSizwe Party has appointed Sifiso Mahlangu as its new national spokesperson.
The former news editor replaces Nhlamulo Ndhlela who is stepping down from the role.
"The national officials take this opportunity to thank Comrade Nhlamulo Ndhlela, who held the fort as the inaugural national spokesperson of the party, as he steps down from the role of spokesperson, both in the party and in parliament, with immediate effect," said Sibonelo Nomvalo, MK Party secretary-general.
The MK Party also made a U-turn on a statement it issued just days ago about proposed changes to its leadership structure. Nomvalo said the media statement did not reflect the views and decisions of the party's national leadership.
