The party, through its spokesperson Nhlamulo Ndlela, explicitly stated that the event was not sanctioned by the MK Party, emphasizing that it is not associated with their official activities.

Shivambu, who was removed from his position as secretary-general on June 2, due to an unsanctioned visit to fugitive pastor Shepherd Bushiri in Malawi, has been at the center of speculation regarding his political future.

Reports indicate that the briefing, which Shivambu announced in his personal capacity, may signal his resignation from the MK Party and potentially the launch of a new political party, rumored to be called “Mayibuye iAfrica.”

The briefing will address urgent national challenges facing South Africa, offering Shivambu’s perspective on the current political climate.

Notably, Shivambu’s announcement omitted the MK Party logo, signaling a potential shift in his affiliation.

This comes amid tensions, with MK leader Jacob Zuma making remarks during a Youth Day address that were widely interpreted as criticism of him.

Floyd Shivambu was also absent from the MK Party’s Youth Day rally held on June 16, 2025, in Clermont, Durban.

Shivambu’s current stance on the MK Party remains unclear, with the press conference expected to shed light on these dynamics.
