More woes for MK Party’s Nhlamulo Ndhlela
Just a day after being removed as the MK Party's national spokesperson and a MP, Nhlamulo Ndhlela has been suspended.
The uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party has suspended Nhlamulo Ndhlela’s membership just a day after removing him from his role as national spokesperson and member of Parliament.
Ndhlela’s membership was suspended with immediate effect pending the outcome of an internal investigation. He is accused of misconduct, sowing division with the MK Party and conduct that has brought the party into disrepute.

In a statement, the party’s new national spokesperson, Sifiso Mahlangu, said Ndhlela has been instructed to immediately return and surrender all party property, materials, account details, passwords, access credentials, documents, devices, and any other information or resources belonging to or associated with the MK Party.
“The party confirms that correspondence has been forwarded to the chief whip Mmabatho Mokoena Zondi, formally apprising her office of the suspension. The suspension shall remain in effect until the investigation has been concluded and a final determination has been made,” Mahlangu explained.
PARTY COMMENTS ON LEADERSHIP CHANGES
PARTY CONTINUES TO CHOP AND CHANGE LEADERS
Since its launch in December 2023, the MK Party has repeatedly made changes to its leadership, and this now appears to be the norm with the latest change affecting Nhlamulo Ndhlela, who is the son of convicted fraudster Joe Ndhlela, who was also appointed as the party’s national organiser in November 2024.
In yet another reshuffle in March this year, the party axed Bongani Mncwango as its secretary-general and replaced him with Sibonelo Nomvalo, who is the seventh secretary-general since the party’s inception in 2023. Former DA and ActionSA member Bongani Baloyi was also axed as the head of elections and was replaced with Tholakele Dlamini.
In an interview with SABC News regarding the latest changes, Nomvalo said they can’t suspend enforcement of discipline because of public perceptions, emphasising that issues of discipline need to be dealt with decisively.
“If you allow discipline to reign within the supreme ranks of the organisation, that is going to have a longstanding impact. So, you need to strike a balance between public perceptions and enforcing discipline.
“Sometimes discipline comes with harsh consequences for the party. However, for the livelihood of the party in the long run, you must never compromise discipline,” he added.
