The party says it cancelled the Siyathatha Rally to redirect resources to ward-level campaigning and community engagement. This follows reports that the party was facing financial difficulties that threatened its plans for a major manifesto launch. The MK Party says it will distribute its election manifesto electronically to all members and structures tomorrow.
