NgoMgqibelo uDkt Zweli Mkhize naye owake waba nguSihlalo kaKhongolose noNdunankulu wesiFundazwe ubeseMandeni esiFundeni iGeneral Gizenga Mpanza nalapho enxuse amalungu e-ANC ukuba ayeke ukuthuka labo asebeyishiyile inhlangano kodwa wathi akulungiswe izinkinga ezikhona embuthweni.
“Ukuthuka abantu akuzikusisiza kodwa okubalulekile ukuba kulungiswe izinkinga esibhekene nazo embuthweni,” kusho uMkhize.
UMkhize wathatha amandla kuNdebele waqinisa uKhongolose KwaZulu-Natal nalapho i-ANC yahlwitha inqwaba yomasipala ku-IFP ngo-2011 ngaphansi kobuholi bakhe.
UMkhize wazifakela isigcwagcwa kuyiwa engqungqutheleni yase-Nasrec ngo-2017 ngesikhathi engameseki uDkt Nkosazana maDlamini Zuma ekubeni isifundazwe sakhe iKZN yayihamba noMaDlamini.
