Bongani Bingwa speaks with Tshidi Madia, Associate Politics Editor at Eyewitness News.

Listen below.

Peter de Villiers has officially been welcomed to the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party by its deputy president, John Hlophe.

De Villiers was formally a member of Patricia De Lille’s GOOD Party but was kicked out in March 2024 after a member filed a sexual misconduct allegation against him.

Madia believes that this is an attempt by the MK Party to gain ground in the Western Cape.

She adds that he comes in with a cloud over his head because of these allegations.

“I did not see this one coming at all.”
