MK Party appoints fourth Treasurer-General in under a year
The MK Party has made headlines over the number of Treasure-Generals it has had. Before Limba, Dr Mthanti held the post for one and a half months. He resigned, citing personal commitments.
Mthanti's resignation also came less than five months after he was named as a member of the party's National High Command.
Before Dr Mthanti, Menzi Magubane held the post for less than five months. Before that, Danisa Zulu held the post, but she was relieved of her duties by Zuma in June 2024.
