Mpumalanga MK Party convener Mary Phadi has alleged that a senior member of the party’s top leadership attempted to coerce her into a sexual relationship and subsequently sought to damage her reputation after she rejected his advances.

In a letter addressed to party president Jacob Zuma, which has now surfaced publicly, Phadi recounted the alleged incident. She claimed the senior official invited her to his room at the Capital Hotel in Mpumalanga on August 4, 2024, under the guise of discussing party matters. Once there, Phadi alleged, the official made unwanted sexual advances, which she firmly rejected.

Phadi further accused the official of retaliating against her refusal by launching a smear campaign to undermine her leadership and credibility within the party. She described the behavior as “a violation of my dignity” and an affront to the party’s principles of respect and equality.

The accused official, whose identity is known to Sunday World, has denied the allegations. In a brief statement, he dismissed the claims as “baseless” and asserted that they were intended to harm his reputation. “I welcome any investigation to clear my name,” he said.

The allegations have triggered widespread concern within the MK Party, with calls for a thorough and transparent investigation. Women’s rights organizations have also voiced their support for Phadi, urging the party to ensure she is not subjected to retaliation for speaking out.

“This is not just about one incident,” said advocacy group Women in Leadership South Africa. “It reflects a broader culture of impunity that women in politics continue to face.”

Phadi’s letter has reignited conversations about gender-based misconduct in political spaces, prompting demands for stronger protections for women leaders. Many have praised her courage in coming forward, describing her actions as a vital step toward addressing systemic issues.

As public pressure grows, the MK Party is expected to address the allegations and outline the steps it will take to resolve the matter. President Jacob Zuma has not yet issued a statement on the incident, leaving many to question how the party will navigate this test of its commitment to justice and accountability.
