AAAM eyes mediation to resolve dispute with MK Party - Tebe

JOHANNESBURG - Secretary-general of the All-African Alliance Movement (AAAM), Bishop Khetiso Tebe, said that the organisation would pursue resolving its dispute with the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party through a mediation process.

This came after he and Bishop Sophonia Tsekedi were removed from the party’s list and expelled from the MK Party following the May elections.

The AAAM, which claims to have 14 million congregants backing it, endorsed the MK Party before the two leaders were elbowed out.

Earlier in December, the Western Cape High Court set aside their expulsion.

However, Tebe said they had not heard how the official opposition plans to give effect to the order of the superior court.

Tebe said they are willing to pursue other avenues.

"As religious people, we do not hold grudges. We do not envy being in any form of a conflict or a dispute, but we rather take matters in terms of understanding spiritually that if two brothers are fighting, a third person might be there also to bring about peace between the two brothers."
