“I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to you, Mr President, for the trust and opportunities extended to me during my tenure as a member of the National High Command and Treasurer. General,” Mthanti wrote in his resignation letter.
‘”My appreciation also extends to the staff of the Treasurer General’s Office, the commanders of the High Command, and colleagues across provinces and legislatures. I take pride in the collective achievements we have made and the values of transparency, dedication, and hard work that we have upheld.”

He has also offered his assistance to facilitate a smooth transition process within the party.
In a media statement, Zuma acknowledged Mthanti’s contributions, appreciating his dedication to the party’s success and commitment to ensuring a seamless transition.
Zuma expressed gratitude for Mthanti’s trust and opportunities extended during his tenure.
The MKP is currently identifying a suitable successor to fill the Treasurer-General role.
Mthanti’s resignation follows a string of notable exits since the MK Party’s formation.
In June last year, then-Treasurer-General Danisa Zulu was removed by party president Jacob Zuma, who cited the need to utilise the party’s limited human resources more efficiently.
Zulu’s successor, Menzi Magubane, was also replaced, and on the same day, Secretary-General Arthur Zwane was relieved of his duties just two weeks into his tenure.
Zwane had succeeded Sihle Ngubane, who was deployed to Parliament as the party’s chief whip.
