A man was forced by MK Party officials to remove his EFF t-shirt and don the KZN party’s shirt, only for him to burn it later.
Yesterday, uMkhonto weSizwe officials were led by MK Party deputy president Justice John Hlophe on a walk.
Man Forced To Remove EFF T-Shirt And Wear An MK Party Shirt Only To Burn It Later
Along the way, they encountered an elderly man who supports the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF). He was rocking the party’s shirt when he met the MK Party group.
Justice Hlophe then coerced the man into removing his EFF shirt and gave him an MP Party tee. He agreed.
EFF members tracked the man and found him. He narrated that the MK Party officials forced him to remove his EFF t-shirt. The Red Berets then gave him a new party t-shirt, and he tossed away the one he got from Justice Hlophe.
Later, he took out a lighter and burnt the MK t-shirt.
Watch the incident below.
