Former uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party secretary-general Floyd Shivambu says his consultation process is well underway.
The Mayibuye Consultation Process, which was launched on Thursday, 19 June, seeks to assess whether there is a need to form a new political party in South Africa. Shivambu said citizens should rest assured that the process will build a revolutionary movement.
In a post on X, the former Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) member shared that a meeting with the Mayibuye National Consultation Team (NCT) took place on Wednesday, 2 July. Shivambu added that the plan of action, including provincial visits and sectoral consultations, will be announced this weekend.
MK MEMBER JOINS SHIVAMBU’S MAYIBUYE
Eugene Ndlangamandla, the MK regional coordinator for the uMkhanyakude district in KwaZulu-Natal, resigned from the party. He stated that he will assist in the Mayibuye Consultation Process. In a letter, doing its rounds on social media, Ndlangamandla criticised the MK Party and described his journey as tough.
“I have observed that unfair treatment of members is a significant problem within the party. MK seems to operate more like a family and friends’ business rather than a political party to liberate black people,” said Ndlangamandla.
He also claimed that there is a lack of discipline among party members, with some using derogatory language and dishonesty running the organisation.
IN-FIGHTING IN MK PARTY?
The MK Party continues to face allegations of internal tensions and infighting. Letters have been circulating, with the party’s parliamentary leader John Hlophe’s signature, on social media. They accused members of Parliament Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla and national spokesperson, Nhlamulo Ndhlela of being disruptive.
Another letter also claimed that MK Party’s chief whip in Parliament, Colleen Makhubele, has been removed from her position. However, Ndhlela claimed the letters are fake.
