Shivambu’s MK Party Demotion Exposes Growing Rifts in Zuma’s Political Project

Shivambu’s MK Party Demotion Exposes Growing Rifts in Zuma’s Political Project

The sudden demotion of former EFF deputy president Floyd Shivambu from his prominent position in the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party has revealed deepening divisions within Jacob Zuma’s political movement. The move, described by party officials as due to “disciplinary concerns,” appears instead to reflect intense internal power struggles that threaten the party’s stability.

Just months after its dramatic emergence as a political force, the MK Party is showing signs of strain. Shivambu’s fall from favor has triggered a wave of resignations among senior members, raising questions about the party’s ability to maintain cohesion. The organization, which initially gained momentum through Zuma’s personal appeal and promises of economic transformation, now faces criticism for lacking ideological depth and relying too heavily on loyalty to its leader.

“From the beginning, the MK Party was a gamble,” said political analyst Thabo Moloi. “It depended entirely on Zuma’s influence without building the necessary structures to manage disagreements. What we’re seeing now isn’t just about Shivambu—it’s a sign of deeper organizational weaknesses.”

The turmoil comes amid growing concerns about authoritarian leadership styles within the party. With national elections recently concluded, the MK Party’s rapid decline highlights the challenges of maintaining personality-driven political movements in South Africa. Observers are now questioning whether Zuma can reassert control or if the party’s internal conflicts will derail its ambitions.

As factional disputes overshadow its original vision, the MK Party’s promise of renewal appears increasingly uncertain. The coming weeks will test whether the organization can overcome these divisions or if its early momentum will fade as quickly as it emerged.
