Afrika Mayibuye Movement Rocked by Leadership Shake-Up!
The Afrika Mayibuye Movement (AMM) is facing internal turmoil after its president, Floyd Shivambu, fired first deputy president Nolubabalo Mcinga. The dramatic move comes just months after the party's launch and stems from unsanctioned meetings Mcinga allegedly held with uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) party leader Jacob Zuma and former MK member Mary Phadi.
According to an AMM statement, Mcinga's removal is a “permanent decision” to safeguard the party's integrity and prevent infiltration and abuse of power. The party claims Mcinga admitted to meeting with Zuma, describing them as “personal engagements.” However, the AMM leadership insists these meetings were not approved and Mcinga lacked the authority to represent the party.
The allegations against Mcinga don't stop there. She's also accused of holding unauthorized meetings with Mary Phadi and making commitments on behalf of the AMM without proper delegation. Furthermore, the party alleges she approached a media company with an offer to “defame and character assassinate” the AMM leadership, and shared confidential information with unauthorized individuals.
This internal conflict highlights potential instability within the relatively new political movement. The fallout from Mcinga's dismissal and the accusations leveled against her could significantly impact the AMM's future trajectory. The party will need to address these issues decisively to maintain its credibility and momentum.
Key Accusations Against Mcinga:
- Unsanctioned meetings with Jacob Zuma.
- Unauthorized commitments made on behalf of the AMM.
- Alleged attempt to defame AMM leadership.
- Sharing confidential information.
The situation remains fluid, and further developments are expected as both sides present their case. Stay tuned to Newsrpt.com for the latest updates on this developing story.
