SHIVAMBU TO ADDRESS NATION AMID SPECULATION OVER MK PARTY FALLOUT

Floyd Shivambu, recently removed as Secretary General of the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party, will hold a press conference tomorrow, June 19, at the Mhulu Luxury Boutique Hotel in Glen Austin, Midrand. The briefing, scheduled for 12h00, is expected to shed light on Shivambu’s current stance on the MK Party and address urgent national challenges facing South Africa.

The announcement of the press conference has sparked speculation about Shivambu’s future with the MK Party, following remarks by Jacob Zuma that were widely interpreted as criticism of him. Shivambu’s absence from the MK Party’s Youth Day rally on June 16, 2025, in Clermont, Durban, has further fueled speculation.

Notably, Shivambu’s announcement omitted the MK Party logo, signaling a potential shift in his affiliation. The press conference will be attended by accredited media representatives only, adding to the anticipation and speculation surrounding Shivambu’s future plans.

With the nation watching, Shivambu’s address is expected to provide clarity on his perspective on the current political climate and his relationship with the MK Party.
