Mervyn Dirks new MKP KZN chief whip
The uMkhonto Wesizwe Party has appointed Mervyn Dirks as its new provincial chief whip.
Last week, the party suspended three of its KZN members, including former chief whip Kwazi Mbanjwa.
It's believed they were suspended amid accusations that they refused to relinquish control of the party’s funds from the KZN legislature.
Last week, a group of party supporters gathered in Nkandla to protest their suspension.
The organisation’s Sipho Tyira says the new chief whip comes with a wealth of experience.

“And he has selflessly served the uMkhonto weSizwe Party particularly in the uMgungundlovu District.”
