In a significant political shift, Lucky Montana, the former CEO of the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (Prasa) and a current Member of Parliament for the Umkhonto we Sizwe Party (MKP), has officially resigned from his position in the National Assembly.
On Monday, Montana posted on his X account that he wrote to the party's parliamentary leadership earlier this year, informing them he intended to vacate his seat.
Montana stated that on 30 August 2025, he wrote to the now-suspended MKP deputy, Dr. John Hlophe, and the party Chief Whip, Colleen Makhubela, confirming his resignation.
"Today my resignation takes effect," he wrote.
Montana's resignation was confirmed in a statement by MK Party spokesperson Nhlamulo Ndhlela saying the party has accepted his resignation.
"Montana has served the MK Party with steadfast objectivity, constructive guidance and principled contributions that have strengthened our caucus and sharpened our collective political effectiveness...
"Although his departure from Parliament has been accepted, the MK Party takes comfort in knowing that he remains part of the continued struggle for the total emancipation of the black child," read the statement.
