Colleen Makhubele’s departure from the MK Party was inevitable, despite her attempts to downplay her resignation from Parliament and the party.

Insiders told Sunday World that she was on her way out after reneging on her parliamentary duties and disengaging from party activities following her removal as chief whip in January.

She had reportedly gone AWOL, skipping important meetings and perpetually calling in sick.

According to those close to her, Makhubele struggled to accept her demotion. “Ever since she was removed as chief whip, she never set foot in parliament,” said an insider.

“She had taken her removal very personal. What is even worse is that she does not get along with the new chief whip.”

This assertion was confirmed by a member of the MKP national high command, who added that Makhubele’s departure from the party was nota shocker.
