MKMVA Trust Case Press Release Statement
2 June 2016
The MKMVA Trust Case at the Johannesburg High Court today, 2 June, marks the beginning of the road towards accountability by the MKMVA leadership since the disbandment of MK by Nelson Mandela.
Money has been requested from all over the world, supposedly to help and rehabilitate former MK Veterans but most of that money has never reached the supposed beneficiaries: the MK rank and file.
Few unscrupulous MK officials have taken ownership of these financial resources on behalf of all of us. They are eating on our behalf, “Ba phuphura”. The unfortunate part is that the ANC leadership from the Top Six down to the lower structures have done nothing about it.
Some ANC leaders have colluded with MKMVA leadership in looting MK destined resources. It is dog eat dog in the current ANC. We need to revisit the reasons as to why we joined the struggle in the first place. What was the purpose? Can we claim what is happening now is what we fought for?
