The leader of the uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MK) in Mpumalanga, Mary Phadi, is back at the High Court in Mbombela.

The party has filed a new application to remove Phadi from her position.

The latest bid follows the court’s decision to reinstate Phadi as the party’s provincial convener and leader in the legislature in December last year.

Phadi was removed from her position after allegations that she misappropriated party funds.

The party argued that the matter should be treated as urgent because Phadi continues to represent the party despite her expulsion.
