MK Party’s Medics Chief Quits, Citing “Political Chaos” and Lost Vision

MK Party’s Medics Chief Quits, Citing “Political Chaos” and Lost Vision

The MK Party has suffered a major setback with the resignation of Dr Innocent Chauke, head of its flagship Medics Programme, who has publicly denounced the party’s leadership direction.

In an exclusive interview, the respected physician revealed his decision stemmed from watching the movement devolve into what he called “political chaos” that abandoned its original social justice mandate. “We started this programme to deliver healthcare justice, but the party has lost its moral compass,” Chauke told IOL.

The doctor’s departure strikes at the heart of the MK Party’s community credibility. As co-founder of the Medics Programme, Chauke pioneered mobile clinics serving informal settlements and rural areas – initiatives that had become a showcase of the party’s grassroots commitment.

While avoiding direct accusations, Chauke hinted at toxic internal politics: “Professional voices are being sidelined. What began as collective nation-building has become a space of exclusion and broken promises.”

Political analyst Professor Lebo Mokoena warns the resignation could trigger a crisis of confidence: “Chauke represented the MK Party’s last remaining connection to practical social upliftment. His exit exposes their growing credibility gap between rhetoric and action.”

The party has remained silent on the resignation, but insiders confirm mounting tensions between its original social justice cadres and newer political operatives.

Chauke vowed to continue his healthcare activism independently, stating: “The patients need us – with or without political backing.” His departure leaves critical questions about the future of the Medics Programme and the MK Party’s ability to retain technical experts amid its political turbulence.

The development comes as the party faces increasing scrutiny over its internal stability, following several high-profile exits in recent months. Observers suggest Chauke’s principled stand may inspire further defections among the party’s professional ranks.
