- Colleen Makhubele was removed as parliamentary chief whip but remains an MP, with NCOP chief whip Mmabatho Mokoena-Zondi named caretaker in the National Assembly.
- The party lifted Vanessa Calvert’s suspension and reinstated her as parliamentary chief of staff, effective immediately.
- MK officials said the moves aim to strengthen structures and enforce organisational discipline following months of leadership reversals and factional disputes, including a prior chief whip saga.
- Molefe previously headed Eskom and Transnet and becomes the fourth person to hold the treasurer-general post since the party’s launch, with his appointment drawing scrutiny as he is reported to be out on R50,000 bail in a R5 billion Transnet case.
