President Jacob Zuma dissolves a task team within the uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK) Party and replaces it with a new leadership structure, the Strategic Presidential Team, according to two South African outlets. The Citizen reports that the move follows Zuma’s decision in the previous week to place the MK Party’s finances under his personal control. IOL says Zuma presents the new Strategic Presidential Team as a way to unify MK Party leadership and improve organisational effectiveness. IOL also reports that Zuma describes the team’s role as driving the implementation of the party’s programmes, policies and electoral strategy. Together, the accounts indicate that Zuma restructures the party’s top authority by dismantling the existing task team and establishing the Strategic Presidential Team with a broader mandate for coordination and execution of the party’s political agenda. The reports do not provide further details on the members of the Strategic Presidential Team or the timing of the transition beyond the announcement.
