MK Party Logo Controversy Sparks Tension Ahead of Shivambu’s Press Conference

MK Party Logo Controversy Sparks Tension Ahead of Shivambu’s Press Conference

Former MK Party Secretary-General Floyd Shivambu is set to hold a press conference on Thursday, 19 June 2025, at the Mhlulu Luxury Boutique Hotel in Midrand. The event, intended to address current political developments, has drawn attention for an unexpected reason—the unauthorised use of the MK Party logo on the media invitation.

The move has sparked speculation that the party, led by former President Jacob Zuma, may take action against Shivambu for using its branding without approval. Some social media users have even called for senior MK Party member Advocate Dali Mpofu to formally charge Shivambu over the matter.

Shivambu was removed as Secretary-General earlier this month following his controversial visit to Malawi, where he attended a church service led by fugitive pastor Shepherd Bushiri. The MK Party deemed the trip a violation of its constitution and reassigned Shivambu to Parliament. However, his decision to host a press conference under the MK Party banner—without clear party endorsement—has raised eyebrows.

Critics argue that using the logo implies official backing, which the party has not confirmed. Social media reactions have been mixed, with some demanding clarity from MK Party spokesperson Nhlamulo Ndhlela and others urging disciplinary steps against Shivambu.

The incident highlights ongoing instability within the MK Party, which has faced internal divisions since its formation in late 2023. Shivambu, who joined the party from the EFF in August 2024, rose quickly to Secretary-General before his abrupt demotion. His unauthorised use of the logo could be seen as an attempt to retain influence or simply a misstep—either way, it has further strained his standing with party leadership.

The controversy also raises broader questions about party discipline and the proper use of organisational symbols. The MK Party, as South Africa’s official opposition, is still solidifying its public image, and incidents like this risk undermining its credibility.

Shivambu’s press conference may provide insight into his political plans, but the logo dispute has already overshadowed the event. The party’s response—and whether Mpofu takes legal action—could set a precedent for how it handles internal conflicts moving forward.
