Former Johannesburg council speaker Colleen Makhubele has ditched her political party for Jacob Zuma's MK Party.
The former South African Rainbow Alliance (Sara) leader has bowed out of the party she formed after her ousting from COPE, saying the decision to join the MK Party is due to it providing a platform for young progressive leaders to find a political home.
I am, as a young woman, taking this step, ready to sacrifice, ready to serve, and looking forward with a mixture of determination, humility, a bit of anxiety and excitement to the untold possibilities that lie ahead.
