Extended MKMVA NEC supports Carl Niehaus
26 June 2022
The National Executive Committee (NEC) of MKMVA, at an extended National Executive Committee (NEC) representative of the national, provincial and regional leadership of MKMVA, that was held yesterday (Saturday, 25 June 2022), expressed its outrage at the ongoing and farcical COVID-19 political persecution that our National Spokesperson, comrade Carl Niehaus, continues to be subjected to.
The extended MKMVA NEC noted that comrade Niehaus’ presence at the Nkandla residence of President Zuma from the 2nd to the 4th of July, and on the 8th of July at the Estcourt Prison, was in execution of official instructions that he was given by the NEC of MKMVA to travel to these locations, and to register the support of MKMVA for President Jacob Zuma. The MKMVA NEC noted that comrade Niehaus was officially sanctioned by the NEC of MKMVA to make the statements that he made in support of President Zuma throughout this period, and that he did so dutifully, and never deviated from those instructions. As such he was throughout on official duty, and on behalf of MKMVA carried out his duties as an MKMVA NEC member, and National Spokesperson of MKMVA.
The extended MKMVA NEC furthermore recalled that comrade Carl Niehaus, while carrying out his official duties as National Spokesperson of MKMVA, was arrested live on national television while being interviewed on the SABC TV News Channel, on the afternoon of Thursday the 8th of July 2021 in front of the Estcourt prison. President Jacob
Zuma was imprisoned at Estcourt prison, after he had illegally been sentenced to a 15th month prison sentence, without a proper trial by the Constitutional Court.
