The MK Party has formally written an official letter addressing a grave concern to the
Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC), questioning the circumstances under
which Mr. Jabulani Khumalo was granted access to the IEC’s Results Operations Centre
(ROC) in Midrand. Despite clear judicial and organizational resolutions confirming Mr.
Khumalo’s expulsion from the party and resignation from leadership, which the IEC
itself confirmed his presence at the ROC, contradicts these well-established facts and
raises significant questions about the adherence to protocol and the objectives of IEC
in this matter. We have raised serious concerns in previous statements regarding
Jabulani Khumalo’s disturbingly close relationships and proximity to senior officials at
the IEC, and this can only be a further confirmation that our assertions and intelligence
reports were solid in fact.


In light of the above, we therefore request that the IEC responds to our letter by no later
close of business today and provide a satisfactory explanation for this oversight. Failure
to do so will compel the MK Party to consider all available legal options, including
courts to address this grievance. This step underscores our commitment to uphold the
democratic processes and ensure that our electoral body maintains the highest
standards of integrity and impartiality.


The MK Party remains deeply concerned about the appearance of conduct that is
seemingly partisan by the IEC, particularly the perception that it may be influenced by
external political interests, notably playing for the ANC of Ramaphosa. It is crucial,
especially in times of electoral activities, that the IEC demonstrates beyond doubt its
independence and fairness since any actions perceived as favouritism undermine
public trust in our democratic institutions and taint the electoral process.
We urge the IEC to respond promptly and thoroughly to our inquiry to assure us and all
South Africans that IEC has not fallen into the traps, like with many state institutions
under Ramaphosa, to be a tool of Ramaphosa and his ANC. It is a known fact to all
South Africans, including the IEC that the MK Party stands united and strong behind its
leader, President Zuma and it is overly confident that President Zuma will be at the
Union Building post May 2029 elections.


We call upon all South Africans to remain vigilant and to hold all institutions
accountable, ensuring that our democracy remains robust and unblemished by undue
influence. But most importantly, to guard against plans by the ANC of Cyril Ramaphosa
to rig elections as evidence is beginning to show. Let us all go out and vote on May 29 to
ensure that the MK party gets a 2/3 majority so that we can address loadshedding,
unemployment, poverty, and corruption in our beautiful country South Africa.
