SACP concerned over 'reckless handling of politics' in KZN
23 May 2016
Durban - The South African Communist Party in the Eric Stalin Mtshali District has voiced its concern over what it calls "reckless handling of politics" in KwaZulu-Natal.
The party, in a statement, said it was worried about rumours that Premier Senzo Mchunu was on Monday expected to resign after the party allegedly asked him to step down on Friday.
While the ANC has remained tight-lipped on the matter, Mchunu's absence from the National Prayer Day in Durban on Sunday further fuelled speculation.
A source told News24 that, in a last minute attempt to save face, the party had called Mchunu and asked him to attend and he allegedly refused. News24 understands that Mchunu was at home on Sunday.
