FLOYD SHIVAMBU FIRES BACK: 'I WON'T RESIGN FROM MKP'

I respect Jacob Zuma' 'Will not be a cult of friends' 'ANC is captured' 'Not about a church trip'

- SIFISO MAHLANGU

FORMER uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MKP) secretary-general Floyd Shivambu yesterday delivered a scathing public rebuke of his political removal and signalled his return to centre stage with plans to potentially form a new political party.

Speaking at a tense press conference at the Mhulu Luxury Boutique Hotel in Midrand, Shivambu levelled serious accusations at his former comrades and laid out a bold vision for the road ahead.

In a series of startling revelations, Shivambu claimed he was ousted from his post based on a “bizarre and fabricated” intelligence report.

He said the document alleged he was plotting to unseat party leader Jacob Zuma and, even more strangely, accused him of possessing mystical powers. “There's a bizarre and fabricated intelligence report claiming I wanted to overthrow President Zuma. It even says I have supernatural powers to make people vanish. This is pure fiction,” Shivambu said, visibly irate.
