The MK Party is dealing with growing internal conflict as Secretary-General Floyd Shivambu faces increasing calls to resign. What started as disagreements within the party has now turned into public clashes, exposing deep divisions among its members.

Shivambu, who took on the role earlier this year, has been accused of making decisions without broad consultation, particularly after restructuring provincial leadership in April. Critics claim this was an attempt to weaken opponents and tighten his control over the party.

However, some supporters argue that the backlash against Shivambu is not just about leadership style but also involves ethnic bias. As a Tsonga leader in a party with strong ties to Zulu political traditions, some believe he is being unfairly targeted.

“This isn’t about his work—it’s about where he comes from,” said Lindiwe Mahlangu, a party coordinator in Gauteng. “He has been effective, but now some want him out because he doesn’t belong to the dominant group in the party.”

The dispute has sparked heated debates on social media, with hashtags like #HandsOffShivambu and #NoToTribalism gaining traction. While some defend him, others accuse him of sidelining long-time party members.

Political analysts say the conflict reflects deeper struggles over power and direction as the MK Party grows. “This is partly about leadership control, not just ethnicity,” said political analyst Dr. Mandla Sibeko. “Rapidly expanding parties often face these kinds of tensions.”

So far, the MK Party’s top leaders have not commented publicly, but insiders say a key meeting is being planned to address the crisis. Shivambu, meanwhile, has refused to back down, stating, “I serve the people, not factions.”

As the party grapples with this turmoil, the coming weeks will test whether it can maintain unity or risk further division. The outcome could shape its future ahead of crucial elections.
