Jacob Zuma dissolves the MK Party’s Presidential Task Team for the second time in six weeks, according to reporting. The action is described as another round of internal changes led by Zuma within the party’s leadership.
The report also says Zuma replaces the MK Party’s eThekwini mayoral candidate, Zandile Hlophe-Mkhwanazi. The move comes amid ongoing uncertainty and leadership management within the party as it prepares for local government politics. Across coverage, the emphasis is on Zuma’s direct involvement in party restructuring—specifically, disbanding the task team and changing the candidate for eThekwini—rather than on policy disagreements or campaign events. Details on the reasons for the dismissals and the identity of the replacement candidate are not included in the provided text, so the motivations remain unspecified here.
