The MK Party has welcomed former South African Rainbow Alliance, SARA leader, Colleen Makhubele into its ranks. The party says Makhubele's extensive experience in both the private and public sectors will make her a valuable asset. Makhubele, who previously served as Speaker of Johannesburg and a former member of the Congress of the People (COPE) and SARA, ditched her own party after its poor performance in the May general elections. For reaction on this, Elvis Presslin spoke to Ofentse Moalusi, National Chairperson of the South African Rainbow Alliance (SARA), to discuss Makhubele's defection
