MK proposes major changes to Constitution

“NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY’

- 

THE uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MK Party) has submitted a comprehensive set of proposed constitutional amendments to the Constitutional Review process for 2025 that address how South Africa elects its leaders, land redistribution, a state bank and compulsory military service.

The party says its proposals aim to “affirm national sovereignty” and reframe South Africa’s Constitution as a “transformation document which puts the interests of the citizens first and addresses historical injustices committed against the indigenous majority”.

According to MK Party spokesperson Nhlamulo Ndhlela, “South Africa belongs to all its citizens, united in our diversity.” This revised clause sets the tone for the rest of the proposals, which the party frames as citizen-centred and non-colonial in nature.
