He has already sent a resignation letter to the Gert Sibande district municipality where he has been a councillor.
Former DA Mpumalanga Youth chairperson Muso Kubheka is no longer a member of the party and has also resigned as municipal councillor.
013NEWS saw the one-sentence letter sent by Kubheka to Gert Sibande district speaker Busisiwe Sekhonde where he informs her of his resignation as DA councillor.
“It was a pleasure working with you and the entire council,” Kubheka said in the letter dated 29 March 2022.
DA spokeswoman Buchule Putini refused to comment on Kubheka’s quitting.
“Muso will respond to you in due course,” she told the 013NEWS reporter Wednesday 30 March 2022.
Kubheka said it was true that he had left the DA but didn’t want to tell the reporter the reasons for leaving.
“Eish, my friend let us not go there but I am no longer with the DA,” he said when answering the reporter’s WhatsApp enquiry.
Six days ago Kubheka posted on Facebook that he had just received communication for the DA “informing me about the decision to cease my memberrship”.
“I am no longer a DA member, it was great working with everyone,” the post reads…
Kubheka had been provincial chairperson of the Mpumalanga DA Youth until March 2018 when an elective conference elected another leader, Palesa Mobango, to the position.
He was the re-elected DA councillor at the Gert Sibande district municipality following the 1 November local government elections.
