Zuma and Ndlozi Cross Paths at Sikhakhane’s Book Launch, Sparking Political Speculation

Zuma and Ndlozi Cross Paths at Sikhakhane’s Book Launch, Sparking Political Speculation

A recent book launch by advocate Muzi Sikhakhane brought together an intriguing mix of South African political figures, including MK Party president Jacob Zuma, former EFF deputy president Floyd Shivambu, and ex-EFF spokesperson Mbuyiseni Ndlozi. Their presence at the event, captured in widely circulated photographs, has ignited speculation—particularly regarding the complex and often contentious history between Zuma and Ndlozi.

The two men share a past marked by political rivalry. During Zuma’s presidency (2009–2018), Ndlozi, then a prominent EFF member, was a fierce critic of his administration. Under Julius Malema’s leadership, the EFF frequently clashed with Zuma’s government, denouncing it for corruption and mismanagement—most notably in the Nkandla scandal, where public funds were controversially spent on Zuma’s private residence. As an EFF MP and spokesperson, Ndlozi played a leading role in these confrontations, often framing Zuma as a leader who had betrayed South Africa’s revolutionary ideals. His opposition remained vocal even into 2024, when he publicly suggested that Zuma retire from politics.

Fast-forward to the book launch on March 14, 2025, and the dynamics appear to have shifted. Ndlozi’s resignation from the EFF in January and his subsequent withdrawal from party politics signal a departure from his once-fiery stance. Meanwhile, Zuma’s formation of the MK Party has reshaped the political landscape, attracting former EFF heavyweights like Shivambu into his orbit. The event itself—held in honor of Sikhakhane, a respected legal mind across political divides—provided neutral ground where past adversaries could coexist, if only momentarily.

Whether Zuma and Ndlozi exchanged words remains unknown, but their shared presence suggests a possible thawing of old hostilities or, at the very least, a pragmatic tolerance shaped by changing political circumstances.

One can only imagine what their interaction might have entailed—a cautious exchange, perhaps, acknowledging their shared history in South Africa’s struggle narrative while remaining mindful of lingering ideological differences. Given Ndlozi’s past critiques, any conversation between the two would likely have been marked by skepticism on his part. However, his departure from the EFF could also indicate a willingness to reconsider past enmities.

As South Africa’s political alliances continue to evolve, moments like these serve as reminders of how shifting circumstances can redefine relationships, even among the most unlikely of political figures.
