The chief whip of the uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MKP), Mmabatho Nthabiseng Mokoena-Zondi, has reportedly been arrested in Cape Town on Thursday.

She is reportedly facing fraud and extortion charges.

It is alleged that Mokoena-Zondi demanded a portion of MPs’ salaries each month for them to remain in their positions.

Mokoena-Zondi replaced Colleen Makhubele as MKP’s Chief Whip in February.
