A rising internal conflict within the MK Party has brought to light new divisions among its top leaders. Some members are now calling for Secretary-General Sibonelo Nomvalo to step down amid ongoing disagreements with Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla, the daughter of former President Jacob Zuma. The tension has become more visible in recent weeks, especially after Nomvalo publicly stated that Zuma-Sambudla is just an ordinary member of the party and does not hold any official leadership role. This statement was part of the party’s effort to clarify its leadership structure, but it upset supporters who back Zuma-Sambudla.
