5 November 2024
The MK Party acknowledges the resignation of Mr. Dondo Mogajane from the Government Employees Pension Fund (GEPF) and various other boards on which he served. This development holds significant importance for reinforcing public trust in the institutions that manage the financial security of millions of government employees.
Contrary to the malicious mischaracterisation of the MK Party, we take pride and feel vindicated for being the first to advocate for Mr. Mogajane to step aside from the GEPF to ensure confidence in the governance of public resources. The party's proactive stance underscored the need for leadership that prioritizes transparency and accountability. The MK Party's call was driven by its unwavering commitment to protecting public institutions from potential reputational damage and fostering an environment where trust in management is paramount.
As a party steadfast in upholding the highest standards of governance, the MK Party emphasizes that it is equally dedicated to ensuring fairness, due process, and the rule of law. Public figures must be accountable through a fair and thorough legal process.
The MK Party also notes that it is essential to remain vigilant regarding those who have long positioned themselves as advocates of anti-corruption and anti-so called state capture while there appears to be prima facie evidence implicating them in misconduct. The party believes that accountability must be applied consistently, regardless of one's stance in public discourse, to maintain genuine integrity in governance.
The MK Party calls on law enforcement and relevant authorities to pursue their investigations diligently and impartially. This is crucial to upholding public confidence in state institutions and ensuring that any misconduct is appropriately addressed. The party further emphasizes the importance of recovering any misappropriated funds to reimburse affected depositors and protect the financial well-being of all stakeholders.
The suffering of many, particularly the elders whose savings were compromised in the VBS Bank crisis, continues to evoke deep concern and determination to prevent similar injustices.
The MK Party remains committed to advocating for strong policies and actions that fortify public institutions and champion ethical leadership. The party firmly believes that through due process and genuine accountability, public trust can be restored and sustained for the collective benefit.
