JOHANNESBURG - Umkhonto Wesizwe (MK) Party member of parliament, Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla, has apologised to the organisation for the profanity she used against Secretary General Floyd Shivambu.
In a post on X on Monday, Zuma-Sambudla called Shivambu the worst thing to happen to the MK Party.
Her remarks were followed by a statement from her father and party leader, Jacob Zuma, ordering her to apologise for bringing the organisation into disrepute.
Although MK member of parliament Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla has issued a public apology to the organisation, she has not mentioned Shivambu in her apology.
This comes despite MK party leader Jacob Zuma instructing her not only to apologise to the party but also to Shivambu, warning that her membership could be revoked if she did not comply.

Zuma-Sambudla maintains that she holds strong opinions regarding Shivambu’s role in the party, but acknowledges that she should have expressed these views through internal channels.
In a series of posts, Zuma-Sambudla criticised Shivambu, calling him "Useless" and even using explicit language to insult him.
However, she has yet to apologise to Shivambu and has only extended her apology to the party and its structures.
