MK Party interim youth leader Bonginkosi Khanyile has been removed from his position as national coordinator of the party's youth league.
A letter dated April 9 2024 says: “You are hereby removed from the position of national coordinator uMkhontowe Sizwe Youth League (MKYL). This removal is effective from today.
“Your role going forward will be to be a normal member of the MKYL. You will be notified of your redeployment in due course. MK Party appreciates your role played thus far.”
No reason was given for his removal.
Khanyile, who was charged with incitement to violence in connection with the July 2021 unrest, has been in the spotlight since he said he was willing to be arrested as the party continues to threaten “there will be no elections without MK and [former president Jacob] Zuma”.
Khanyile said he was not scared to go to jail for trying to stop the elections.
The party has also removed Thapelo Maisha from the position of interim deputy president and Philani Gazuzu Nduli from the position of Gauteng coordinator of the MKYL.
