The new members exchanged their old T-shirts for the MKP T-shirts . The MKP Regional Coordinator, Victor Lobi welcomed the new members, calling on them to take their positions in the varied branches of the party and assume the various tasks of the party.
Speaking on behalf of the new members, Xeloshe emphasised their commitment to the mission of the MKP and highlighted that while they came together as a group, they each joined as individuals and would go and make their contributions in their varied zones and branches, in support of those already leading the party.
