Shivambu appointed as MKP secretary general

Shivambu succeeds Sfiso Maseko, who resigned last week to return to his role in the Gauteng Health Department. 

In a statement, Zuma confirmed that Shivambu’s appointment complies with the party’s constitution. Shivambu, formerly the EFF deputy president, now assumes key responsibilities in the party, marking a strategic shift in leadership.

Shivambu only joined the MK Party after leaving the Economic Freedom Fighters in August. He previously held the position of national organiser. 

The MK’s Head of Presidency, Magasela Mzobe, said Shivambu’s appointment is effective immediately.

“Commander Nyiko Floyd Shivambu will assume all the functions and tasks of Secretary General as prescribed by the Constitution of the MKP. The President and National Officials will, in line with the Constitution of the organisation, announce the necessary changes pertaining to the vacant role of the National Organiser.

“The president commends Commander Dr Maseko for playing an important role in the life of the organisation. The president expresses full confidence in Secretary-General Nyiko Floyd Shivambu and the entire leadership of uMkhonto weSizwe Party.”
