ANC stalwart Mavuso Msimang has labelled the uMkhonto weSizwe veterans “clowns” and said they continue to cause chaos in the country.
Last week, the group went on a rampage shutting down foreign-owned shops and demanded that owners leave the country.
Msimang — who received an honorary doctorate from the University of South Africa — didn’t hold back on his criticism.
“I’m seeing some strange documents coming up that there is a new order being driven by some uMkhonto weSizwe people,” he said.
“They don’t belong to our uMkhonto weSizwe. They are not us. We were told a long time go that we cease activities and in 1991, uMkhonto weSizwe as a vehicle for liberation seized to exist when there was an agreement to form the SANDF.
“To allow these clowns and Comrade President we will have to ask that sometimes these idiots should not be given the audience to waste time when there is so much.”
The sentiment was shared by former president and current Unisa chancellor Thabo Mbeki.
“So, if we want to hear something about what MK is, what MK stands for, this is where we should come. Like him, I see people marching down our streets here wearing uniforms call themselves MK that’s not the MK he knows, and that’s not the MK I know.
“But I’m talking about an MK which like the NUM was very central to this matter of shaping futures in the service of humanity,” Mbeki said.
Msimang said there is no alternative to replace the governing party.
“Even our terrible weakened ANC, I just don’t see anybody replace it. I don’t know who would be able to run this country certainly not in the short term. So, it is absolutely important for the sake of South Africa that we do something,” he said.
Msimang stated the ANC is plagued by serious challenges that it needs to deal with.
