Ilungu lesigungu esiphezulu se-ANC, uMnuz Sihle Zikalala, ugxeke iqembu elisha le-MK, wabiza ukusebenzisa kwalo igama elithi ‘uMkhonto weSizwe’ njengosomathuba kanye nesimangalo esingekho emthethweni mayelana namagugu e-ANC. Ukuphawula kukaZikalala kuqhamuke ngemuva kokudlondlobala kweqembu le-MK Party, osekudonse amehlo abantu ezindaweni ezahlukene eNingizimu Afrika.
UZikalala uthe ifa loMkhonto weSizwe, uphiko oluhlomile lwe-African National Congress ngesikhathi sobandlululo, lungaphansi kwe-ANC kuphela. Uzwakalise ukukhathazeka ngalokho akubona njengemizamo ye-MK Party ukusebenzisa le ngxenye ehlonishwayo yomlando we-ANC. “UMkhonto weSizwe uyifa le-ANC, futhi labo bantu bangosomathuba ukusebenzisa igama elinjalo,” kusho uZikalala egcizelela.
Ilungu le-NEC ye-ANC liphinde labuza ngeziqu zabanye abantu kwi-MK Party, lathi akubona bonke ababeqeqeshwe ngokweqiniso eMkhonto weSizwe. Yize elivumile ilungelo labo lokusungula iqembu lepolitiki, ukugcizelele ukungafaneleki kokuhlangana kwabo nophiko lwezempi lwe-ANC olunomlando.
Inkulumo kaZikalala igqamisa ukukhula kokungezwani phakathi kwe-ANC neMK Party, ikakhulukazi njengoba le nhlangano isaqhubeka nokuheha umphakathi nokwesekwa. Ukusetshenziswa kwegama elithi ‘uMkhonto weSizwe’ yiqembu elisha sekuqubule inkulumompikiswano mayelana nokwabiwa kwamafa omlando kwipolitiki yaseNingizimu Afrika yangaleso sikhathi.
Ukuvela kweQembu leMK Party, ikakhulukazi ngokwesekwa nguMengameli wangaphambili uJacob Zuma, sekwethule inguquko entsha kwezombusazwe. Ukuphawula kukaZikalala kukhombisa ukukhathazeka okungaphakathi kwe-ANC mayelana noqhekeko olungase lube khona kanye nokwehluleka ukulawula umlando wayo.
Abahlaziyi bezepolitiki bazibhekisise lezi zigameko, bathi indlela i-ANC ezokwenza ngayo uma i-MK Party isebenzisa amagugu ayo izoba nomthelela omkhulu ekutheni lesi simo siqhubeka kanjani. Njengoba isimo sezombangazwe sithuthuka, impikiswano ngobunikazi nokusetshenziswa komlando njengoMkhonto weSizwe kulindeleke ukuthi ishube, ibe nomthelela ekuthembekeni kweqembu kanye nemizwa yabavoti.
