Zuma's inner circle turns on Floyd Shivambu as MK Party prepares for 2026 local government elections

_{//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. repares-for-2026-local-government-elections.html}
^{Published in Politics and Government on Tuesday, March 25th 2025 at 10:40 GMT by IOL}

Growing tensions within the uMkhonto we Sizwe party have led to calls for Secretary General Floyd Shivambu's removal, as insiders express dissatisfaction with his leadership ahead of the crucial 2026 elections.

The article from MSN discusses the internal conflicts within South Africa's political landscape, focusing on the tensions between former President Jacob Zuma's inner circle and Floyd Shivambu, the deputy president of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF). As the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party, backed by Zuma, gears up for the 2026 local government elections, there is a noticeable shift in alliances and strategies. Zuma's allies are reportedly turning against Shivambu, accusing him of betrayal and opportunism, particularly in light of his past association with Zuma during the state capture era. This discord comes at a time when the MK Party is attempting to establish itself as a significant political force, potentially challenging the dominance of the African National Congress (ANC) and other parties in local governance. The article highlights how these internal rifts could impact the political strategies and voter alignments in the upcoming elections.
