Government of National Unity Failures
1. Gender-Based Violence – The CweCwe Matter
The brutal and senseless ra**ng of CweCwe has shocked the conscience of our nation. being r***d is not an isolated incident, but yet another tragic example of a society deeply afflicted by Gender-Based Violence (GBV). It is a symptom of a broken system, culturally, legally, and morally, where the lives of women are rendered expendable and where patriarchy continues to reproduce itself in homes, institutions, and public spaces. As the MK Party, we do not see GBV merely as a social issue, it is a political crisis that undermines our very liberation project. No revolutionary society can rise while women are under siege. We demand not only swift justice for CweCwe and her family, but structural transformation that includes harsher penalties for perpetrators, survivor-centered support systems, community-based prevention programs, and the re-education of society to root out toxic masculinity. CweCwe's name must be etched into our national memory as a call to action—never again must a woman cry in silence.
2. The Omotoso Case & the NPA’s Crisis of Competence
The ongoing Omotoso case has become a national embarrassment and a heartbreaking display of prosecutorial collapse. After years of legal delays, witness trauma, and procedural bungling, the failure of the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) to secure justice sends a chilling message to survivors of sexual violence: your voice does not matter. This is more than a legal blunder. It is a betrayal of the courage of the victims who came forward and a desecration of the justice system. The MK Party is deeply disturbed by this pattern of incompetence. We call for an immediate overhaul of the NPA’s capacity to handle GBV-related cases, including the establishment of a specialised GBV tribunal with trained investigators, prosecutors, and magistrates who understand the trauma and complexity involved. The survivors deserve closure, not courtroom revictimisation. True justice must be survivor-focused, timely, and transparent—anything less is complicity. OMOTOSO MUST NOT LEAVE THIS COUNTRY and if that happens it will show that the GNU is a failure and must be removed from power.
3. Illegal Immigration – A Pan-African Perspective
The issue of illegal immigration in South Africa must be approached with both clarity and compassion. As the MK Party, we reject xenophobia in all its forms, but we also reject lawlessness disguised as Pan-Africanism. The root causes of irregular migration lie in the artificial colonial borders, economic underdevelopment, and imperialist interference that continue to destabilize parts of our continent. Many who migrate do so out of desperation, not criminal intent. However, South Africa has every right, indeed, a responsibility to protect its economy, sovereignty, and the rights of its citizens. Our position is clear: we support the regulated, dignified, and lawful movement of people across Africa, in line with African Union protocols. But the state must enforce immigration laws firmly and fairly, clamp down on syndicates and corruption at border posts, and invest in regional development to reduce migratory pressures. We believe in a Pan-African future where Africans move freely—not in chaos—but through coordinated development, mutual respect, and a shared vision of unity.
These illegal immigrants will one day rise to power and overtake our institutions, unless we act now and stop them, I’m in support of the protest call MARCH in MARCH and it should be made a national march where we shut down every government institution until the GNU act on these people who have flooded our country.
If the government (GNU) cannot have an understanding that our identity is our freedom, they must know that we will mobile all our ground commanders and take over the land that belongs to us and it mineral resources
