MK Party Demands South Africa Exit Commonwealth, Calls It “Tool of British Colonialism”

The uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MKP) has demanded South Africa withdraw from the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association, denouncing the group as a vehicle for British colonial influence rather than an instrument for decolonization.

MKP KwaZulu-Natal MPL Ishana Barciela stated the party rejects ties with the Commonwealth, aligning South Africa firmly with BRICS nations instead. “The Commonwealth has failed to dismantle colonial structures—it exists to serve the British Crown’s interests,” Barciela said.

South Africa rejoined the Commonwealth in 1994 after leaving in 1961 during apartheid. But the MKP argues the nation should now cut ties with what it calls a “crumbling Western power structure,” prioritizing land restitution and reclaiming stolen resources.

“Like India is reclaiming its diamonds, we must restore what was looted from our people,” Barciela added, framing the push as part of a broader shift toward the Global South.

The controversial demand spotlights growing anti-Western sentiment among some South African political factions. While unlikely to gain immediate government support, the move signals MKP’s strategy of positioning itself as a radical alternative to current foreign policy.

Analysts note the Commonwealth remains valuable for trade and diplomacy, making withdrawal improbable. However, the debate reflects deepening geopolitical divisions as parties like MKP seek to capitalize on anti-colonial rhetoric ahead of elections.
