In Conversation With Tiego Khoza-political analyst

The uMkhonto weSizwe Party, founded by former president Jacob Zuma, is facing increasing scrutiny after a series of rapid leadership reshuffles and internal disputes that have resulted in the removal of several Members of Parliament and senior officials.

Since the party’s formation in 2023, leadership positions have frequently changed, including the roles of secretary-general, chief whip and other senior officials. In one recent example, the party appointed Sibonelo Nomvalo as secretary-general, reportedly the eighth person to occupy the position in less than two years.

Reports suggest that around 18 MPs have been removed or reshuffled, with some challenging their removal through the courts. Analysts say the frequent changes reflect a highly centralised leadership structure in which major decisions are closely controlled by Zuma.

Some political analysts argue that the instability may actually be deliberate. According to analysts quoted in recent reporting, constant reshuffles prevent individuals within the party from building independent power bases, keeping authority firmly concentrated around the party leader.
