Barely two months after being sworn in as members of the National Assembly representing the MK Party, eight MPs have been fired and their party membership terminated.
MK Party chief whip Sihle Ngubane wrote to speaker Thoko Didiza informing her of changes in the party's caucus.
According to the constitution, a person loses membership of the Assembly if they cease to be a member of the party that nominated them.
Didiza informed affected MPs that “loss of membership is therefore by operation of the law and parliament has to give effect to the official communication from the party”.
