Summary created with AI assistance · Source: iol.co.za
- 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.
