The organisation, after welcoming Shivambu and former EFF National Assembly member Mzwanele Manyi into the fold, said that they'd be deployed according to their strengths. In his new role, Shivambu, who succeeds Nkosinathi Nhleko, a former African National Congress minister under Jacob Zuma, will be charged with, among others, establishing and strengthening national party structures.
Meanwhile, Nhleko is expected to become the MK Party’s new chairman, replacing Sebiloane Mokotjo, whose future role, in turn, remains unclear. Since Shivambu's departure, an apparent "Black exodus" has taken hold within the EFF after another high-profile exit — Sizwe Nkosi, the Chief Albert Luthuli sub-region deputy branch secretary inThe new appointments mark a strategic move within the MK Party to bolster its presence and influence, with the coming days set to reveal more about their plans and the broader impact on the political scene.
