Bonginkosi Khanyile, the leader of the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party Youth, is embarking on a symbolic two-day march from Pretoria to Johannesburg in protest of the 2024 election results.
Known as the “Where is My Vote Walk,” the demonstration draws attention to what Khanyile describes as the rigging of the elections that unfairly placed his party in third position.

The walk began this morning, with the first leg expected to take around 10 hours, culminating in Alexandra, Johannesburg, by this evening. The march, which aims to expose the perceived flaws in the electoral process, is closely followed by MK supporters and political observers.
Khanyile Slams Election Results as “Untrue”
Despite the MK Party’s surprising third-place finish in last year’s election, following its relatively recent formation, Khanyile firmly disputes the official results.
According to Bonginkosi Khanyile, the announcement that the African National Congress (ANC) topped the polls, with the Democratic Alliance (DA) coming in second, is fundamentally flawed.

Khanyile argues, “Election results say there is ANC at the top, there is DA number two, and then there is MK number three, it is not true. Even when you group all the white people and give them to DA, and you include those from Freedom Front Plus (FF+), you still cannot say the DA is bigger than MK.”
MK Party’s Bonginkosi Khanyile’s Confidence in the Party Support Base
Khanyile’s remarks show a core belief among MK’s supporters—that their party holds far more influence than the results suggest.
The MK Party, led by former President Jacob Zuma, has garnered a dedicated following, particularly from South Africa’s disenfranchised communities. Khanyile points to MK’s strong base within the so-called “middle class,” many of whom, he claims, are loyal party members.
Despite the odds, Bonginkosi Khanyile and his supporters remain committed to proving the validity of their claims. The march is just the beginning of a series of efforts aimed at challenging the legitimacy of the election results and reclaiming what they believe is rightfully theirs.
