In his statement, Ndhlela said his decision was motivated by a commitment to devote more time and effort to building the party.

“I am resigning from Parliament to focus on the party,” he explained.

His resignation means he will not be returning to Parliament when it reconvenes in 2025.

Last week, the MK Party President Jacob Zuma appointed Ndhlela as a full-time National Spokesperson. This means he will now be serving in the group’s top 8. Members of the top 8 in the MK do not serve in government.

“This decision is to ensure the further strengthening of the Communication machinery of the party and to shape its strategic direction. The President has confidence in Commander Ndhlela to continue to execute his responsibilities with the astuteness he continually demonstrates.“
