REFILWE MEKOA
Congress of the People in the Free State says it is not shocked by members who have re-joined the ANC.
Cope’s Mzwandile Hleko said members who left were no longer active within the party. Hleko was responding to a statement made by former Cope provincial leader Casca Mokitlane to the media last week, when he announced that he was going back to the ANC.
Mokitlane told various media houses in Bloemfontein that Cope is a failed project. Hleko said Mokitlane is out of touch and doesn’t know what is happening within the party.
“Our party is much stronger than in 2009 as we now have structures which didn’t exist in 2009. We are working day and night to reach our target of twelve seats in the provincial legislature and whatever that Mokitlane said will not affect us at all,” he said.
Hleko said anyone has the right to associate and disassociate themselves from any political party.
