The uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party has confirmed that it has launched internal disciplinary proceedings against Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla, daughter of party leader and former president Jacob Zuma.
This comes after her controversial social media outburst directed at the party’s Secretary General, Floyd Shivambu. Duduzile recently took to social media in a profanity-laden rant against Floyd, sparking widespread criticism and internal tension within the party.
Her remarks were seen as highly inappropriate and damaging to the party’s unity.
