In Conversation With Mzukisi Ronyuza MK Party Gauteng Provincial Secretary

Loading player...
The uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party — a relatively new political force in South African politics — has announced a Presidential Task Team (PTT) to help steer the party’s operations ahead of the 2026 local government elections. The party, led by former president Jacob Zuma, says the team faces a significant challenge as it prepares to contest a range of municipalities across the country.
The MK Party emerged unexpectedly as a political contender in national politics, securing a notable share of votes in the 2024 general elections and positioning itself as a major opposition presence in Parliament. Analysts have highlighted both the rapid rise and the internal organisational challenges the party faces — including frequent changes in senior personnel and questions about its long-term stability.

Jacob Zuma formally announced the 11 members of the presidential task team, which includes his son Duduzane Zuma — a move that has attracted public and media interest given ongoing debates around leadership dynamics and governance within the party. The establishment of the task team reflects Zuma’s acknowledgment that he cannot personally manage all aspects of party affairs as the election campaign accelerates.
