MLF To Discipline Mkandla Over Flag Burning Comments

JOHANNESBURG, April 25, 2011- The secessionist and radical Mthwakazi
Liberation Front (MLF) has summoned its national organising secretary Max
Mkandla to appear before the organisation’s disciplinary committee following
his controversial comments condemning the burning of the Zimbabwean flag by
South Africa based members last week.



MLF spokesman David Magagula told Radio Vop that Mkandla will be required to
explain his actions when he appears before the disciplinary committee.

“ We have sent him a letter advising him to appear before the disciplinary
committee and explain why he decided to attack the organisation in the media
instead of following proper channels, ” Magagula told Radio Vop.

According to Magagula, Mkandla should be organising people in his area to
identify and burn Zimbabwean flags they will come across in
Matabeleland.Last week Mkandla condemned the burning of the Zimbabwean flag
in Johannesburg.Mkandla who is a former Zipra cadre described those who
burnt the flag as criminals.

But MLF leaders in Johannesburg have supported the actions of the youths who
organised the march and burning of the flag describing it as a symbol of
oppression against ethnic minorities in Matabeleland province. MLF has also
announced that its leader and former Zipra guerrilla officer Fidelis Ncube
who is affectionately known as  General Nandinandi will address supporters
in Johannesburg on Saturday.The organisation has been under pressure from
supporters to force Ncube to address people in Johannesburg.Ncube is based
in Gaborone, Botswana.
