‘He is my brother’: Shivambu opens up about 20 year brotherhood with Ndlozi despite political differences
In an interview with SABC, Shivambu described their relationship as a brotherhood that has endured for over 20 years, transcending political differences."Our relationship is not just political; it’s built on more than two decades of trust and camaraderie. We may disagree on some issues, but we are aligned on the bigger picture."
One such instance occurred during the campaigning for the 2024 general elections, when both the EFF and MKP agreed not to attack leaders or engage in negative political rhetoric. However, Ndlozi took the opportunity to publicly criticise former president Jacob Zuma, stating that his actions as head of state fell short of expectations."But I won’t claim ownership of his ideological direction. We may disagree on some technical aspects, but in terms of the broader goal, we are aligned.
When asked whether he had tried to recruit Ndlozi into MKP, Shivambu responded firmly:"I am not in the business of recruiting leaders from other parties. Our focus is on the people. We are working to build MKP and strengthen its presence across the country."
