A dramatic internal political shake-up is reportedly underway within the Mayibuye Afrika movement, according to a trusted source. Allegations have surfaced that President Floyd Shivambu, a key figure in the party, faced an internal defeat in what appears to be a carefully orchestrated move by senior leadership members.
The source, who requested anonymity, claims that Shivambu never intended for them to be removed from their position within Mayibuye Afrika. However, key figures within the party—including National Chairperson Mmabatho Makaose, Head of Presidency Nombuso Mkhize, TG Menzi Magubane, and Secretary-General Siphephile Mahlaba—allegedly conspired to unseat the official. The source described the situation as a betrayal, calling the involved parties “bloody agents,” and expressed anger over what they described as a calculated internal coup.
The alleged power struggle highlights growing tensions among the party’s top ranks. Party insiders suggest that disagreements over leadership direction, strategy, and influence may have fueled the conflict, raising concerns about the stability of Mayibuye Afrika at a critical political juncture.
Attempts to reach the named officials for comment have so far been unsuccessful. Party members and supporters are reportedly divided, with social media channels reflecting outrage, confusion, and calls for transparency in the leadership’s decision-making process.
Political analysts warn that internal conflicts such as this could undermine the cohesion of Mayibuye Afrika, potentially affecting its public image and influence in upcoming political campaigns.
As the situation develops, observers are closely monitoring whether the party will move towards reconciliation or if further power struggles will escalate, reshaping the leadership landscape entirely.
