MK Party Rocked by Major Leadership Purge: Shivambu, Manyi, Mkhwebane Ousted in Power Shake-Up

Party insiders reveal the moves were ratified by Zuma and the National Leadership Core, signaling an aggressive restructuring just months after the MKP’s formation. Shivambu will remain a parliamentary representative despite his demotion, while Manyi’s removal appears linked to internal dissatisfaction with his leadership style.

The purge highlights growing factional tensions within the fledgling party. Political analyst Tessa Mokoena observes: “This isn’t just reorganization—it’s a systematic elimination of potential rivals to cement Zuma’s inner circle.” The Mpumalanga leadership dispute, now under internal mediation, further exposes these divisions.

Notably, the reshuffle comes as the MKP faces scrutiny over its governance model. Critics have long accused the party of operating as a Zuma personality cult rather than an institutionalized political movement. The simultaneous removal of three prominent figures—all former ANC members who defected to the MKP—raises questions about the party’s stability as it establishes its parliamentary presence.

With Parliament in session, the MKP’s ability to manage this internal turbulence will test its political maturity. Observers warn that while the purge may strengthen short-term discipline, it risks alienating key constituencies and could trigger further defections if perceived as authoritarian.

As the dust settles, all eyes remain on whether these dramatic changes will fortify the MKP’s foundations—or accelerate its fragmentation in South Africa’s volatile opposition landscape.
