The MK Party, also known as uMkhonto weSizwe, has been making headlines recently due to internal conflicts and significant political developments. Despite these challenges, the party remains confident in its growth and influence in South African politics. The party was established in December 2023 and has been described as the fastest-growing political party in South Africa, with a strong presence in Parliament[1].

Internal leadership conflicts have been a major issue, with sources indicating deep divisions and factional fighting within the party. A group of MK members of Parliament has called for the removal of Colleen Makhubele, the party’s chief whip, due to allegations of autocratic behavior[3]. Additionally, spokesperson Nhlamulo Ndhlela has faced criticism for his conduct, including being accused of disruptive behavior and insulting Makhubele during a caucus meeting[3].

On the political front, the MK Party has been focused on significant policy changes, including a push to amend the constitution to allow for land expropriation without compensation. The party has submitted a bill to Parliament for this purpose, highlighting its commitment to this policy[5]. The upcoming National Policy Conference in August 2025 is expected to solidify the party’s strategic direction and policy frameworks ahead of the 2026 Local Government Elections[2].

Former EFF leader Floyd Shivambu has been under observation by the MK Party following his recent activities. Shivambu’s actions have been closely monitored as the party prepares for potential changes that could impact its future[8]. Meanwhile, Jacob Zuma, the party leader, has been at the forefront of the party’s political strategies, including a strong role in the 2024 elections where the MK Party gained significant support[6].
