MK Party charges Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla and Nhlamulo Ndhlela over alleged misconduct

The uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party's National Officials have resolved to pursue disciplinary processes against Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla and Nhlamulo Ndhlela following a series of actions and public statements deemed to be in conflict with the party's constitution and organisational principles.

In a statement on Thursday, the party said Zuma-Sambudla repeatedly made public remarks and social media posts that allegedly weakened organisational unity, promoted factional divisions and questioned the legitimacy of party decisions and leadership structures.

The party further claims that her involvement in activities outside officially sanctioned programmes created confusion among members and supporters regarding the organisation's official positions.

Ndhlela has also come under scrutiny for allegedly acting without proper organisational authority, addressing media briefings without approval, misrepresenting party positions and participating in unauthorised activities that created uncertainty about the party's leadership and internal processes.

The party further raised concerns about the conduct of both members during the illness and subsequent passing of MK Party Member of Parliament Muzi Ntshingila. According to the party, Zuma-Sambudla and Ndhlela were involved in actions that led to Ntshingila being transferred to another healthcare facility without the knowledge of his family.

The MK Party also alleged that the pair had no authority to involve themselves in matters relating to Ntshingila's medical care and expressed concern over the reported removal of some of his personal belongings from his parliamentary residence without his family's knowledge.

Following complaints from the Ntshingila family regarding public comments and conduct surrounding the late MP, Parliamentary Leader Dr John Hlophe reportedly instructed both Zuma-Sambudla and Ndhlela not to attend funeral proceedings and to refrain from making public statements on the matter.

The party has reiterated its commitment to maintaining discipline, accountability and unity within its ranks, urging members to allow internal constitutional processes to take their course.
