Nomvalo urges Duduzane Zuma to ‘man up’ and protect his father amid MK Party power struggle

Sibonelo Nomvalo, the former secretary-general of the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) party, has spoken out about his dismissal. In a recent media briefing, Nomvalo denied claims that he was collaborating with President Cyril Ramaphosa or plotting to remove Zuma from the party presidency. According to Nomvalo, he faced multiple intelligence reports accusing him of being a spy for the ANC, particularly for NEC member Zweli Mkhize, and of plotting with former MK secretary-general Floyd Shivambu to remove Zuma.

These reports allegedly contained bank statements and other evidence, which Nomvalo collected to refute the allegations. He also disputed claims of financial misconduct, including allegedly stealing money to buy cows. Nomvalo said he had been prepared for his removal, but was still heartbroken by the accusation of having a relationship with Zweli Mkhize.
