The South African Communist Party(SACP) has come out to publicly reject the newly formed Umkhonto Wesizwe Party(MK Party) and says it will not recognise it as a legitimate organisation.
‘FORMER COMMANDERS TURNING IN THEIR GRAVES’
Speaking at the 29 annual Joe Slovo Commemoration Day event in Soweto, SACP secretary-general Solly Mapaila, says that the only MK they will recognise is the MK Liberation War Veterans.
“Today, we want to use this opportunity to reaffirm our recognition of the MK Liberation War Veterans as the only legitimate association and voice of bona fide former MK commanders and rank-and-file members” says Mapaila.

Mapaila adds that its former leader Slovo and other MK veterans such as Moses Mabhida, OR Tambo, Dorothy Nyembe, Chris Hani are turning in their graves.
“A grouping, supported by one former President of the ANC, has clothed their newly found a party with the name of the MK to contest elections like a wolf in a sheep skin. We denounce this impostor syndrome” Mapaila added.
