MK veterans council to boycott ANC policy conference
6 June 2017
Johannesburg - A group of African National Congress MK veterans will not take part in the ruling party's policy conference later in June.
The conference was merely a costly distraction, former Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK) and SANDF head, General Siphiwe Nyanda told reporters at Liliesleaf farm in Rivonia on Tuesday.
The MK veterans' national council steering committee took the decision.
The council was formed in 2016 by former MK generals and commissars concerned with the political direction of the MK Military Veterans' Association (MKMVA), led by Kebby Maphatsoe. It is not an officially recognised ANC structure.
