uMkhonto we Sizwe<\/a> party leader, Jacob Zuma<\/a>, says his party is ready to outshine the African National Congress (ANC) in the national and provincial elections.<\/p>\n

Zuma addressed supporters and members of his party during a closing rally held at Emalahleni in Mpumalanga on Sunday.<\/p>\n

He urged members to go out in their numbers to vote for the MK Party, adding that the party will establish a decent government that will listen to its people.<\/p>\n

He says when his party takes over from the ruling party, it would change some of the country\u2019s laws.<\/p>\n
