MK Party Faction Pushes for Ndhlela as New Secretary-General Amid Internal Power Struggle

MK Party Faction Pushes for Ndhlela as New Secretary-General Amid Internal Power Struggle

A faction within the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party is lobbying for spokesperson Nhlamulo Ndhlela to take over as secretary-general following Floyd Shivambu’s removal, according to party insiders. The group, known as the “December 16” faction—comprising early members of the MK Party—views Ndhlela as a preferred candidate over newcomers from other political movements.

Other names in contention include Phumlani Mfeka and Bongani Baloyi, the party’s head of elections. However, sources suggest the December 16 faction is actively pushing for Ndhlela while sidelining figures perceived as outsiders, particularly those who joined from the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF).

The faction, believed to be aligned with former President Jacob Zuma’s daughter Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla, argues that founding members have been overlooked in favor of former EFF members like Shivambu, Mzwanele Manyi (recently ousted as chief whip), and Busisiwe Mkhwebane (Mpumalanga convenor). These leaders, they claim, should never have held key roles after campaigning against the MK Party while still in the EFF before the 2024 elections.

One source familiar with the discussions said Ndhlela is a strong candidate but questioned whether he would accept the role or be effective in it. “If he gets it, that might signal the party’s decline,” the source added.

Meanwhile, another insider suggested the reshuffling is part of a broader effort to consolidate control, with figures like Baloyi and parliamentary caucus leader Colleen Makhubele—who joined from smaller parties—also at risk of being sidelined. Baloyi, initially considered for a parliamentary seat, was reportedly removed from the list, as was Shivambu.

Shivambu’s removal has fueled speculation about his next move. Some sources claim he was gathering funds to launch his own party, though doubts remain about his financial capacity. Others say his exit stems from frustration with the MK Party’s internal conflicts. “The environment is toxic—no one is safe unless they play along,” a source close to Shivambu said.

The power struggle comes as the MK Party, now South Africa’s official opposition, faces external pressures. Some believe certain interests are working to weaken the party to maintain the stability of the government of national unity, where the Democratic Alliance holds influence.

Ndhlela and MK head of presidency Magasela Mzobe did not respond to requests for comment. As the leadership battle unfolds, the party’s ability to present a united front—or risk further fragmentation—remains in question.
