PICTURES: MK party marches for Mkhwanazi

The uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party marched through the streets of Joburg urging South Africans to show support for KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Commissioner, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.


A group of about 300 MK party supporters marched through the streets of Johannesburg singing war chants and struggle songs, dressed in military-type uniforms as they called for the support of KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.

The pack was led by a group of elderly men and women in camouflage, which the MK party indicated are actual uMkhonto weSizwe veterans.
