- Floyd Shivambu is considering forming his own political party while still maintaining membership in uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK).
- His strategy mirrors previous moves by Jacob Zuma and Julius Malema, who maintained influence despite party departures.
- Shivambu faces internal opposition within MK, particularly from Zuma’s faction and his daughter Duduzile.
- Many South Africans doubt his popularity, and his removal from MK appears inevitable and imminent.
The only one who can maintain control over the party is Zuma, and Shivambu will not be tolerated.— This comment refers to the political dynamics between Floyd Shivambu and Jacob Zuma, particularly in the context of Shivambu's potential split from MK.

- Floyd Shivambu was dismissed as secretary-general of the Umkhonto Wesizwe Party following an unauthorized foreign visit.
- His trip to Malawi to see fugitive pastor Shepherd Bushiri violated Section 3(j) of the party's constitution.
- The decision was made during a meeting led by President Jacob Zuma on June 2, 2025.
- Shivambu was reassigned to the National Assembly to strengthen the party’s parliamentary caucus.
It was reaffirmed that the trip was not an officially sanctioned programme of the organisation or the president, which therefore goes against the constitution of the party.— Nathi Nhleko, the party's national organiser, during a press briefing in Durban.
